Product Description
Building on the tremendous success of Bird Songs (250,000 copies sold), The Backyard Birdsong Guides are regional, interactive handbooks of birds and their songs for beginning bird-watchers. With a touch-button electronic module housing common vocalizations of 75 species from across Eastern and Central North America, this volume offers a truly sensory way to identify and get to know local birds. Crisply detailed and scientifically accurate illustrations accompany each entry, and up-to-date range maps from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology provide clear geographical reference points. Complete with an introduction to birdsong that will inspire readers to look out their kitchen windows and venture out in the field, this unique book provides an exciting entryway into the subtle art of birding.

 Great gift for a bird lover January 8, 2009
Angela Rust (Indiana)
I purchased this as a gift for someone and he and I were very pleased with it. All of the birds have one or two calls and the clarity of each call was very good - it sounded just like the actual bird. I think any bird lover would enjoy this product.
 Remarkable book in a small package January 4, 2009
Yoga and Yorkies (Miami, Florida USA)
This book is fascinating and much easier to carry than the larger format books that I purchased previously. The reference section at the end is especially helpful. If there is a bird you are particularly interested in, the reference section tells you how to listen to longer recordings of the songs of that bird if they are available (for free).
Awesome! December 14, 2008

I have always wondered what bird was singing while out in the backyard - and now I have something to help me. This book is great! The bird singing is so realistic that my dogs go nuts looking for the birds! The book also has a lot of info on the birds and the artist renditions are wonderful. LOVE THIS BOOK!
Offering an interactive format in audio word as well as written language and visual images October 13, 2008
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Any home library strong in field guides probably has more than one bird book; but this is something different, offering an interactive format in audio word as well as written language and visual images. Some seventy unique birds from Eastern North America are featured in a book which offers one-touch buttons of digital audios to pair with descriptions of songs, calls and behaviors. Home birders who want to identify by more than pictures will find this an easy, appealing guide with a difference.

What a great book. It makes it easy to learn the songs of so many birds! My grandkids love it! Just what I hoped it would be, and great service by seller.
