reminder for anyone in Portland OR! doing a free show at @powells.bsky.social showcasing some bird comics, playing some bird comedy music from the Extremely Accurate Bird Songs podcast with Billy Libby, and signing books! 7 pm at an incredible bookstore, would love to see you there!!
Posting some bird-related comics to celebrate the release of my Extremely Accurate Birds Field Guide — in bookstores everywhere! And: if you live in Portland OR, I’m playing a set of birding comedy music and showing some bird comics at @powells.bsky.social tomorrow, 4/20!

finally: a pope who loves suet
I can tell! I have led new birders and I always say to start local and familiar, kniw when and where you are, and notice the general stuff before trying to see the specifics (and try to do it all in once glance before looking away to your guide of choice). 100% going to recommend this book now.
I know it sounds ridiculous but I genuinely wanted to make a useful (funny) bird guide! My hope is that it can be a Trojan Horse of sorts to get non-birders into appreciating the wonderful world of birds (and their exquisite rumps and legs, of course)
I of COURSE expected Extremely Accurate Birds by @tommysiegel.bsky.social to have the most detailed bird illustrations yet. But I was also impressed by the extremely accurate descriptions AND birding tips. Especially organizing birds by where you'll see them. (For real.)
and YES the extremely accurate birds field guide is finally here!! www.tommysiegel.net (and in bookstores everywhere)
come see us play a whole set of bird comedy music at your favorite bookstores this week, San Fran and Portland!
against all advice, I continue to draw comics that only birders will understand
PS: the world’s most accurate bird guide has finally arrived… (in bookstores!!!) www.extremelyaccuratebirds.com
in hindsight i can acknowledge that this submission was a bit too birder-specific for the New Yorker
tommy siegal’s extremely accurate bird coloring postcards painted with watercolor for accurate flesh tones and bright shiny feathers
thanks @tommysiegel.bsky.social for this delightful practice for flesh tones. also, is butt legs?
I set out to make a “Trojan Horse” bird guide — a book that’s ridiculous but entirely usable as a bird guide. I’d be honored if you picked up a copy at a bookstore near you (or came to see me on book tour)!
It’s a magical world out there. Happy birding! ❤️🦆

It’s my book’s birthday!!! (or, “pub day”, as the industry folk call it!!)
To be earnest for a moment, I really did make this “Extremely Accurate Birds” field guide to share my genuine love for birding and the natural world around us in the only way I know how: through the dumbest humor possible.
baby, we were born to bird
this one is ridiculous. come join the ride!!
the latest episode of Extremely Accurate Bird Songs is here (just in time book release week)… and the Indigo Bunting gets “The Boss” treatment. Baby, we were born to bird.
Escape our current hell and celebrate a neat bird on the world’s most unhinged birding/comedy podcast:

with woodcock mania sweeping the nation it feels like the right time to post this New Yorker reject that, in hindsight, was way too specific
some fun news… Extremely Accurate Birds is going on book tour!!! come celebrate the release of ‘Extremely Accurate Birds: A Field Guide’ with a set of acoustic bird comedy music and bird comics at some awesome independent bookstores! 🤘🦆
