In Spanish and English: Featuring over 80 species of hummingbirds of Ecuador in good color photographs.

It's SPRING and if you live above the equator that means that the weather should be getting warmer and the dumb birds are hopping around and making their usual incessant noise and pooping on your cars and waking you at ungodly hours. I say "should' because it is supposed to snow across most of North America this week and dumb because, hello?

Who wakes up before the sun rises on purpose!?! I adore them. I feed them and attract them and I really do have a backyard wildlife It's SPRING and if you live above the equator that means that the weather should be getting warmer and the dumb birds are hopping around and making their usual incessant noise and pooping on your cars and waking you at ungodly hours. I feed them and attract them and I really do have a backyard wildlife habitat.

Matt Kracht has written a very funny, tongue in cheek guide to some of the most common birds found in North America. He has humorously renamed them so that we might easily remember them.

He tends to feel about crows the same way I do. Yes, that really is all that you need to know about the damn crow, isn't it? Kracht also accompanies each delightful paragraph of information with his own personal illustrations.

Okay, some are better than others depending on how well he likes the bird. I won't even show you the illustration of the crow which resembles something a two year old with a black marker might draw in a fit of rage. Again, very aptly done when considering the caw-caw-caw of the crow. Most, however, are beautifully rendered. Despite the irreverence, the information throughout the book, the details, the drawings - with a few noted exceptions - the maps, and the highlights are very informative.

If I were teaching children about birds I know that I will! It also makes for a terrific coffee table book and conversation piece. Guests have adored it! I adore it! I haven't laughed this hard or this much in a very long time!!

I have been bird watching for as long as I can remember. But, even if you have all of those and more, you will want this book. This book is both snarky, and serious. Funny and fun. It gives you true facts, mixed in with bizaar thoughts. He has also renamed birds, mentioned in here, for his humor and amusement. The Dork-eyed Junko, instead of I have been bird watching for as long as I can remember. The Dork-eyed Junko, instead of Dark-eyed Junko.

He gives little sort of true, sort of snarky comments about each bird. Until he gets to the crows, whom he refers to as the Damn Crows. That's pretty much it with these jerks. About the rock pigeon he writes "Oh my god, do I even need to talk about this bird? You can blindfold these birds, and they can find their way home. What's even the point? Save your tiny blindfolds for some other bird, I guess.

It would also make a good gift to your birding friends. Lots of fun.
