This is my kind of book: birding and satire, for ornithological
observers who can take a joke. Like most birders, I have not seen too many of
these species, but this authoritative, reliable guide offers practical tips for
where and how to find them, or not. Maybe you have even heard or seen one of
these birds, but didn’t know what it was. Some of the species might evolve
millions of years from now, given the effects of climate change, etc. Or they
may have evolved already, faster than we might have guessed. Some are
well-adapted, others are not. Many have onomatopoetic, often eponymous calls
that, if heard, would be useful and easy to learn. This guide is organized by
color-ish.
I am a scientist and early career biologist. I am also an active reader, and am curious about almost everything. Of particular interest to me are natural histories and environmental conservation, though I also enjoy a lot of contemporary and classic fiction. I have an interest in Latin American and Spanish culture, and enjoy practicing Spanish by reading books in that language. In addition, I am a musician, and especially love jazz. @mattc3388 on Instagram
