Book Reviews of National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of North America, Fifth Edition
Book Review: A field guide to ugly birds
Summary: 2 Stars
Are all North American birds ugly? Judging by this book, the answer is yes. They look like tinseltown cartoon characters. Huey, Dewey and Louie looked better. If you see a good-looking bird in USA, it's probably a European vagrant! Please call 911 and ask for Lars Jonsson.
I'm sure this field guide serves its purpose eminently. Provided the birds you are trying to identify are ugly, that is. Nor am I surprised that this guide is brought to us by National Geographic, the same people who gave us THE PILTDOWN BIRD.
HA HA HA!!!
PS. Did Audubon shoot every good-looking birdie in Amerika?
