520    "Perfect for the anti-aviary (or bird fanatic with a sense
       of humor), this snarky illustrated handbook is equal parts
       profane, funny, and--let's face it--true. Featuring 50 
       common North American birds, such as the White-Breasted 
       Butt Nugget and the Goddamned Canada Goose (or White-
       Breasted Nuthatch and Canada Goose for the layperson), 
       Kracht identifies all the idiots in your backyard and 
       details exactly why they suck with humorous, yet angry, 
       ink drawings. Each entry is accompanied by facts about a 
       bird's (annoying) call, its (dumb) migratory pattern, its 
       (downright tacky) markings, and more. With migratory maps 
       and tips for birding, plus musings on the avian population
       and the ethics of birdwatching, this is the essential 
       guide to all things wings. No need to wonder what all that
       racket is anymore!"--Amazon.com.
