Softcover. Condizione: As New. Most natural history books provide information in a straightforward, expository style. This work is circuitous, humorous, and often profane. (For example, the distraction display, when birds slink away faking a broken wing to try to lead an intruder from their nest, is described as the "crippled bi…rd act, or giving the big bad wolf the old WAZOO.") Because of Slinger's informal (to say the least) style, readers may not realize that his ribald, rambling book actually contains a pretty solid overview of birding, albeit often in rather hit-or-miss fashion. Chapters touch on birders, bird behavior, bird parts, identification, and ten prime birding locations; a miscellaneous chapter called "Deep Background" defies categorization.
