Book Reviews of Birding by Ear: Eastern and Central North America (Peterson Field Guides(R))

Book Review: An excellect way to start learning the language of birds
Summary: 4 Stars

I am enjoying using these CD's. Learning bird songs and calls is like learning a new language. I like that, in these CD's, the songs and calls are, for all intents and purposes, separated out from other birds. You can clearly hear the bird on which you are focusing. I also like that the songs and calls are repeated. The explanations and "handles" to "grab on to" to hold the particular songs and calls are helpful. (In my opinion, the narrator in these CD's is a bit off, tone-wise, when he imitates the bird with a "handle" phrase, but the phrase is still helpful.)

I mainly listen to the CD's in the car, but in a perfect world, I would listen AND look at the bird I am hearing. I think that would help me learn better. Also, the birds are heard in groupings; I would love to be able to go to the song of a particular bird, rather than a grouping, but...
still a great set of CD's!
