Bestselling author and professional birding amateur Matt Kracht is back, and he's had it with these goddamn birds! "A Dumb Bird's Field Guide to the Worst Birds Ever" isn't just a field guide; it's a survival manual for anyone plagued by the avian menace.

Featuring fifty of the most awful birds on the planet, Kracht combines furious wit with surprisingly lovely full-color drawings to detail each bird's unique brand of terribleness. Learn to identify and avoid feathered fiends like the Cruddy Turdstone, the Blank Staring-Eyes Flycrapper, and the downright loser, Dowdy Woodfucker.

Using his all-new scientific scale of awfulness, Kracht exposes the dumb migratory patterns, tacky markings, and downright annoying calls that make these birds the absolute worst. Whether you're a bird lover with a twisted sense of humor or someone who knows, deep down, that birds are terrible, this uproarious guide is the perfect mix of entertainment and (un)education. Prepare yourself for a hilariously harrowing collection of squawking, conceited, trash-eating, and occasionally murderous idiots. You've been warned.
