"Dumb Birds" with Matt Kracht Mar 24, 2022

Show notes

Matt Kracht believes that birds are fascinating, wonderful....but also idiotic jerks. He recently published his second book roasting some of our most beloved species. Matt's field guide is full of humor, vulgarity...and some great bird information perfect for birders and non-birders with a sense of humor about birding.
