This oversized audio book plays the songs and calls of every breeding bird in North America--747 in all--recorded in the field by the renowned Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. The most comprehensive book of avian species ever published for North America, it helps dedicated birders or curious novices differentiate between songs and calls to identify each species' unique audible characteristics, such as the zee-zee-zee-zreeeeee of the Black-Throated Blue Warbler or the distinctively loud THREE BEEERS! of the Olive-Side Flycatcher. Much more than a typical field guide, it provides each bird's distribution, habitat, and behavior. Scientifically accurate maps display species' breeding, year-round, and wintering ranges while brilliant color illustrations display species' unique crests, plumage, bills, beaks, claws, and spurs. Hardcover. 536 pages. Includes three AAA batteries. 14 1/4" H x 13 1/4" W x 2" D.
