Drawing from the collection of the world-renowned Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Bird Songs presents the most notable North American birds including the rediscovered Ivory-billed Woodpecker in a stunning new format. Renowned bird biologist Les Beletsky provides a succinct description of each of the 250 birds profiled, with an emphasis on their distinctive songs. Lavish full-color illustrations accompany each account, while a sleek, built-in digital audio player holds 250 corresponding songs and calls. In his foreword, North American bird expert and distinguished natural historian Jon L. Dunn shares insights gained from a lifetime of passionate study. Complete with the most up-to-date and scientifically accurate information, Bird Songs is the first book to capture the enchantment of these beautiful birds in words, pictures, and song. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology, located in Ithaca, New York, is a nonprofit institution focused on birds and whose mission is to interpret and conserve the earth's biological diversity through research. The Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab is the major source of sound recordings of birds for research, education, conservation, the media, and commercial products. Listen here

Summary: Recognizing our Backyard Birds
Comment: Bird Songs is a wonderful addition to our home library. We enjoy our backyard birds, watching them every morning from our porch. Now we can learn their songs so we can identify them if we don't actually see them. The book is easy to use. Just enter the identification number of the bird into the programmed speaker and the particular bird call will play. In addition to the birds' songs, much information is given about each of the birds such as their habitat, nesting, migration and any peculiar habits.

Summary: Bird Songs
Comment: I've had so much fun listening to the songs of the birds I see...and the ones I don't. I'm learning to recognise the songs when I hear them outside my window! Beautiful bird book to share with my friends!

Summary: Bird Song Book
Comment: The book is excellent. Easy to find the bird and its song. A pleasure to sit on the porch and mimic the birds.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Nice book
Comment: It is a very nice, interesting, and useful book. It is not, however, well organized, so that it is hard to find a bird. Also, for each bird the book only gives one phrase from its song.
