Book Reviews of The Art of Pishing: How to Attract Birds by Mimicking Their Calls (Book & Audio CD)

Book Review: The Art of Pishing
Summary: 5 Stars

Pete Dunne teaches us how to Pish in this Book - I have seen many people pishing, but Pete refines the Art. It is funny, helpful, and historical. It is a useful tool and good reading. In addition, you get a CD you can listen too. It is a funny, pertinent, intelligent discussion of Pishing. Driving during one birding expedition, I played it for my birding group. The Group was thoroughly entertained and we got a lot of good laughs in the process; Pete Dunne is a good entertainer.

Summary of The Art of Pishing: How to Attract Birds by Mimicking Their Calls (Book & Audio CD)

Learn the arcane yet effective art of pishing from a master. In this unique book and CD package, renowned birder Pete Dunne presents an illustrated workshop on how to attract birds by making precise and well-practiced hisses, whistles, chips, and squeals (along with some kisses and thumps) that almost guarantee spectacular success in the field. The text explains the hows, whys, and whens of 13 different pishes, including the basic pish, stutter pish, whisper pish, knockdown pish, screech-owl warble, sequential chip, and squeal. The soundtrack features audio demonstrations so you can compare your efforts to an expert's. Together, this book and CD will send you well on your way to becoming a pisher extraordinaire. This first-ever how-to book on this time-proven technique features 13 pish explanations and audio demonstrations by Pete Dunne
