MORE THAN THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT BIRDING

JUST WHEN YOU thought you could take birdwatching seriously again, those freewinging funsters Ben, Cathryn, and John Sill have taken another laugh-out-loud look through their bizarro binoculars. The world of ornithology will never be the same. This time even the birdwatchers themselves aren't safe.
In Beyond Birdwatching, the Sills have turned their wicked wit on the entire world of birdwatching in a hysterical parody of your favorite birding magazine. Beyond Birdwatching offers the familiar magazine features, but with a twist:
- a crossword puzzle in which every answer is "bird"
- an in-depth look at ornipsychology, the latest silly psuedo-science (Type T birds are thrill seekers, including the Western Surferbird, attracted by the call "surfs up, surfs up"
- ads and reviews of such wish-we-had-'em tools for birding as Insta-Insects (freeze-dried bugs for your birdies--just add water!), Avian Aromas (draw birds to you with specially designed pheromones), and bifocal binoculars
