Book Reviews of Birding by Ear: Eastern and Central North America (Peterson Field Guides(R))
Book Review: Best way to learn birdsongs
Summary: 5 Stars
The Peterson Field Guide Series' "Birding by Ear Eastern and Central North America" CDs by R. Walton and R Lawson is a fantastic way to learn how to identify more than 85 birds in the eastern half of the USA.
I first started birding with a friends family when I was a kid and was always mystified by their ability to identify a bird without ever seeing it. So when I started to get interested in birding again as an adult I thought that it was a hopeless endeavor to even try, until "Birding by Ear." I received the CDs less than two months ago as a present and after many car rides to and from work my auditory landscape for birding is forever altered. Now, about half of the birds I identify are by sound alone and will definitely be getting "More Birding by Ear" in time for spring migration.
This series includes the following birds:

Summary of Birding by Ear: Eastern and Central North America (Peterson Field Guides(R))
BIRDING BY EAR uses an educational and entertaining method for learning bird songs. Instead of merely providing a catalog of bird song samples, BIRDING BY EAR actually teaches. This proven method has greatly enhanced the field experience for birders across North America. The authors have created learning groups of similar vocalizations and clearly point out distinguishing characteristics. Using techniques such as phonetics, mnemonics, and descriptive words, Walton and Lawson provide a context for learning the songs and calls of eighty-five species of birds found east of the Rockies. Combine the auditory instruction here with the visual features of the Peterson Identification System. Page numbers in BIRDING BY EAR's booklet refer to species descriptions in the PETERSON FIELD GUIDE TO BIRDS OF EASTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH AMERICA, fifth edition.Nonfiction Books
