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 earth's 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.

Summary: Songbook review
Comment: This songbook is great! Very helpful in identifying a bird and very life like. A nice product, but also it arrived very quickly despite the Christmas rush and got here in mint condition. I will order again from Amazon.

Summary: Outstanding resource
Comment: This is a well-written book for the beginning bird enthusiast. The best part is the songs. I have very much enjoyed sitting outside and playing random bird songs until I hear the birds in nearby trees respond. We have an excellent population of birds in our area, and this is very cool.
