| BIRDING BY EAR: WESTERN BIRDS (TWO CD'S). A unique and important tool for birders. Naturalists learn how to master one of the most useful and difficult field skills - the ability to recognize birds by their songs and calls. Birding By Ear: Western points out exactly what to listen for to tell one bird from another. As the Peterson Field Guide groups birds by visual similarity, Birding by Ear: Western groups them by acoustic similarity. Dick Walton and Bob Lawson have arranged ninety-one common species into nineteen intelligible learning groups: sing-songers, trillers, name-sayers, warbling songsters, and others. The entertaining and educational narrative does the same job as the arrows in the Peterson Field Guide to Western Birds, pinpointing the precise differences between similar species. The songs themselves are recorded to the highest acoustic standards and are a delight to listen to. Birding by Ear: Western can enable anyone to become a better birder. Use it in conjunction with the Peterson Field Guide to Western Bird Songs, which provides a thorough catalog of the songs and calls of the familiar birds of western North America. Birding by Ear: Western is as helpful as a good field guide and binoculars! #CD-6442.
