A Field Guide to Bird Songs of Eastern and Central North America
Very good collection of bird songs. Great companion to 'Field Guide to the Birds of Eastern and Central North America'. Includes list of songs and calls. Very interesting!
A Field Guide to Bird Songs: Eastern & Central North America
The CD is marvelous! Bird songs that I have heard for years now can be identified. Birds that I did not realize are in our area can be given a name. The CD coordinates with Peterson's 5th Edition Field Guide to Birds of Eastern & Central North America.
Not for a beginner
On the positive side, there are a LOT of different bird songs recorded in this cd. It would be much more user-friendly, however, if each track contained only one bird. The sheer number of different bird songs, combined with the not-so-convenient access to individual bird songs, makes this cd more appropriate as a comprehensive reference for use with the written field guide, or perhaps a field guide for someone already an expert, rather than a usable field guide for a more casual birder. Not something I would recommend if you simply want a cd that will help you recognize common bird songs as you are walking through the woods.
