Description
With birding more popular than ever, this clever pocket-sized guide is a unique gift that celebrates the obsession with hilarious definitions and clever illustrations of terms that birders know and love.
Acclaimed science communicator and cartoonist Rosemary Mosco offers a clever, humorous gift that's perfect for any birdwatching obsessive in The Birding Dictionary. It is a “dictionary” filled with hilarious and informative definitions for more than 200 birding terms, plus over 50 witty full‑color illustrations. Terms range from bird species, anatomy, and behaviors to the insider birdwatching jargon that all birders know and speak fluently, from "alpha code" to "zygodactyl."
With equal parts quirky humor, accessible science, and impulse giftability, The Birding Dictionary is the latest in Workman’s legendary “pocket dictionary” series, which includes Golfing, Skiing, Sailing, and others, with a whopping 2.5 million copies in print.
