Bird ID Made Easy
by admin on Jun.21, 2011, under Favorites
I have so many birds around my property – all making their own sounds – and many that hide way up in the trees, seldom seen. I got one of these Bird Songs Audio Books last year and have now ID’d about 10 new birds I can now call “neighbors.” This was a great buy for me, one of the world’s oldest “kids” – and it would prove to be fun for a lot of younger listeners as well.
The Complete Bird Songs Audio Book plays the songs and calls of every breeding bird in North America, (747 in all) recorded in the field by the renowned Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
The most comprehensive book of avian species ever published for North America, it helps dedicated birders or curious novices differentiate between songs and calls to identify each species’ unique audible characteristics, such as the zee-zee-zee-zreeeeee of the Black-Throated Blue Warbler or the distinctively loud THREE BEEERS! of the Olive-Side Flycatcher. Much more than a typical field guide, it provides each bird’s distribution, habitat, and behavior.
