Know Your Bird Sounds, Volume 1: Yard, Garden, and City Birds

Lang Elliott
These superb collections of field recordings and descriptions offer unparalleled access to the sounds and calls of numerous popular and less well-known birds and amphibians. Each book and CD provides an introduction to the sound repertoire of species living in eastern and central North America--several calls from each species are included, along with an in-depth description and explanation of their significance. In addition to color photographs of the most common species, the text offers a fascinating look at the science of avian and amphibian calls, making these guides indispensable aids for the outdoor enthusiast.

The hour-long CD contains sounds for 35+ species with mnemonics.
