Bird Songs: 250 North American
Birds in Song by Les Beletsky
Terrific Way To Identify The Mystery Birds In Your Life!
Drawing from the collection of the world-renowned Macaulay Library at the
Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Bird Songs presents the most notable North
American birds—including the rediscovered Ivory-billed Woodpecker—in a
stunning new format. Renowned bird biologist Les Beletsky provides a
succinct description of each of the 250 birds profiled, with an emphasis on
their distinctive songs. Lavish full-color illustrations accompany each
account, while a sleek, built-in digital audio player holds 250 corresponding
songs and calls. In his foreword, North American bird expert and
distinguished natural historian Jon L. Dunn shares insights gained from a
lifetime of passionate study. Complete with the most up-to-date and
scientifically accurate information, Bird Songs is the first book to capture
the enchantment of these beautiful birds in words, pictures, and song. The
Cornell Lab of Ornithology, located in Ithaca, New York, is a nonprofit
institution focused on birds and whose mission is to interpret and conserve
the earths biological diversity through research. The Macaulay Library at
the Cornell Lab is the major source of sound recordings of birds for
research, education, conservation, the media, and commercial products.
Ive had this book for over a year. It is one of my many bird reference
books and is probably my favorite. We live in the a very rural area and
have a vacation place in an even MORE rural area. Both are on water so
we get many species of birds living with us and just passing through.
Many times you can only hear the bird and never get a glimpse of it. This
book has been terrific in helping me figure out who is living with us and
who is migrating through.
Once Ive made and i.d. I can go to my other books and learn about my
guests.
A different kind of endorsement: There is a recording of an owl in the book
that must be incredibly realistic. My labrador throws back his head and
howls the most primal, MOURNFUL cry youve ever heard when it is
played. It is a beautiful, haunting sound that almost sounds like he is
longing for something he cant name. He has never before or since howled
in any fashion, much less this soulful call of the wild.
