Reviews"Don Kroodsma's passion for birdsong is infectious, and this guide will have any birder (including me) listening to birds with new insight and appreciation after reading it." -- David Allen Sibley, author and illustrator of The Sibley Guide to Birds "Watching birds is only half the fun--knowing how to listen to them is the other half. This handy audio book teaches you how to listen to birds and to understand who they are and what they are saying to each other. It will double your enjoyment--both outdoors and indoors." -- Greg Butcher, National Audubon Society "There is no better guide to the fascinating world of birdsong than Don Kroodsma, who in this handy book shows that even in the average backyard there is drama, mystery, and excitement, all bound up in the song of a bird." -- Scott Weidensaul, author of Living on the Wind and Of a Feather "Don Kroodsma's latest book is a gem. Each page brims with enthusiasm and erudition, the product of countless hours spent in 'deep listening'--applying the attentiveness and aesthetic appreciation of a musician to the songs and calls of birds. Even advanced students of birdsong will find much that is new in these pages--and refreshingly well composed!" -- Ned Brinkley, Editor, North American Birds "Don Kroodsma once again gives us a reason to listen to birds as individuals. What a gift to all birders to be able to listen to these birds with new ears." -- Bill Thompson, III, Editor, Bird Watcher's Digest "With his trademark clarity and charm, Donald Kroodsma takes us beyond identification and into the realm of understanding. What are the different functions of the multiple songs given by many birds? How do songs differ among individuals? And what causes those differences? These are cutting-edge scientific questions, and it is to Kroodsma's credit that he provides compelling and easily understood answers." -- Ted Floyd, Editor, Birding

Great book at a great price!
I like this book! It shows lots of local birds that hang in my backyard and now I can pick them out because of this book. It has very nice pictures, the colors are really nice. I received it in a very short time and was packed well. The only thing I wish would be that the volume was louder. It just doesn't play very loud so hard to call birds to the area with their songs. But otherwise, it is a really good book to have if you like birds.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
