"Best. Dictionary. Ever." -David Sibley, author of The Sibley Guide to Birds

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.”
