Review: The Mincing Mockingbird Guide to Troubled Birds


The Mincing Mockingbird Guide to Troubled Birds
The Mincing Mockingbird Guide to Troubled Birds by Matt Adrian

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Adrian is the Anne Taintor of the avian world; but only darker. Mostly a morbid fascination with the wet work of raptors and jays is here with occasional forays into window collision deaths, feeder-induced obseity and, yes, owl-initiaded necrophilia. The Taintor-styled captioned painting nicely decorate the slim volume of shockingly direct and graphic paragraphs. Colorful, adult language runs the gamut with the F-word inexplicably obscured.
