Description

Birding by Ear is a unique and important new tool for birders. Now they can easily master one of the most useful and difficult field skills-the ability to recognize birds by their songs and calls. Just as my Field Guide shows what to look for, Birding by Ear points out exactly what to listen for to tell one bird from another. As the Field Guide gropus birds by visual similarity, Birding by Ear groups them by acoustic similarity. Dick Walton and Bob Lawson have arranged 90 common species into 19 intelligible learning groups, such as...'sing-songers,' 'trillers,' 'name-sayers,' 'warbling songsters,' and many others. The entertaining and educational narrative does the same job as the arrows in my Field Guide, pin-pointing the precise differences between similar species. The songs...are a delight to listen to. Birding by Ear can enable anyone to become a better birder. It may well become as essential to your as your Field Guide and binoculars.
