The Birding Dictionary

“Sure to put a smile on your face.”–– Bird Conservation magazine (American Bird Conservancy)“Rosemary Mosco is one of the world’s most insightful (and entertaining) observers of birds. In this wise and witty new book, she turns her binoculars the opposite direction and takes a look at birders instead. The result is a lively, perceptive, and gently hilarious view of the birding community. I loved it. Highly recommended!”––Kenn Kaufman, editor of Kaufman Field Guides“Best. Dictionary. Ever. In any subject. A bunch of birding words and phrases, given really concise and informative explanations, all presented in Rosemary’s inimitable style: funny, irreverent, whimsical, thought-provoking, and fully entertaining.”––David Allen Sibley, author of The Sibley Guide to Birds“Birding is one of the most rewarding and joyful hobbies in the world. It is also very, very, very silly. No book better captures that delightful duality than Rosemary Mosco’s laugh-out-loud funny guide to the ludicrously amazing and amazingly ludicrous world of birds and birders.”––Ed Yong, author of An Immense World
