Birds useful and birds harmful
Ottó Herman and others
Which birds earn their keep in the fields, and which cost the farmer? Otto Herman weighs the ledger, profiling the owls that hunt mice by night, the ground-workers that clear insects, and the structure that fits each bird to its trade. Practical Hungarian ornithology with a conservationist's edge. A case, made bird by bird, for knowing your neighbors before you judge them.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
