Book Reviews of Bird Song Ear Training Guide: Who Cooks for Poor Sam Peabody? Learn to Recognize the Songs of Birds from the Midwest and Northeast States
Book Review: My favorite guide to bird song...
Summary: 5 Stars
and I have several! I do love the female voice on this CD, and I love that it allows you to guess the bird before you're told what it is; but what makes this CD really stand above the rest for me is its use of mnemonics. That the woman says aloud, beside each song, the rhyme or phrase or human interpretation of the sound most commonly associated with it really sped up my learning these species' songs.
I do have three very minor criticisms: 1) I agree with an earlier reviewer who said the tracks are a bit short. If I space out for a moment, I am hitting the back button. 2) I live in Vermont, and I find there are many species on this collection that don't come this far north (or east). I wish it were more specific to my region (but, I understand that the author did not have me in mind personally as he was developing objectives for this guide!). 3) Why why why does every bird CD put two birds on each track? I tried to resolve the problem of irrelevant birds by creating a playlist in iTunes that included only the birds of my region, but decided it was simply too much work to split tracks.
Overall, though, the few grips I have with this guide really have to do with my wanting, well, more of it (more time per track, more birds of my region). For what it is, this guide is excellent and I'm so glad I have it. If only there were an entire series--one for each region of North America!
