A Supremely Bad Idea Three Mad Birders and Their Quest to See It All
Author: Luke Dempsey
It was an epiphany: The moment two friends showed Luke Dempsey a small bird flitting around the bushes of his country garden, he fell madly in love. But did he really want to be a birder? Didn?t that mean he?d be forced to eat granola? And wear a man-pouch? Before he knew it, though, he was lost to birding mania. Early mornings in Central Park g...  more »

This book was a cross country road trip with three quirky & merry birders, 'planes trains and automobiles'-style. Luke, Don & Donna were driven yet funny characters pursuing their love of birding, taking their audience along for the ride. Seedy hotels, high altitudes, and annoying people be damned. Nothing stands in the way of a true birder and his/her quest to see birds! I totally related to hating the "dunces" & "pregnants" and other nature ruiners. Small Injustices Man is my personal hero. I thought it so cool that the story ends with their trip to Peru/Plattsburgh, NY which is where I grew up. At times the humor can feel a little contrived & crass but overall this is a really fun ride if you dare get in the car. Oh, and by the way, I love tomatoes sliced on my sandwich but dislike any type of tomato sauces.
