With The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of North America, you won't need to wonder what all that racket is anymore! ● Each entry is accompanied by facts about a bird's (annoying) call, its (dumb) migratory pattern, its (downright tacky) markings, and more. ● The essential guide to all things wings with migratory maps, tips for birding, musings on the avian population, and the ethics of birdwatching.
