Product Description
Building on the tremendous success of Bird Songs (250,000 copies sold), The Backyard Birdsong Guides are regional, interactive handbooks of birds and their songs for beginning bird-watchers. With a touch-button electronic module housing common vocalizations of 75 species from across Western North America, this volume offers a truly sensory way to identify and get to know local birds. Crisply detailed and scientifically accurate illustrations accompany each entry, and up-to-date range maps from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology provide clear geographical reference points. Complete with an introduction to birdsong that will inspire readers to look out their kitchen windows and venture out in the field, this unique book provides an exciting entryway into the subtle art of birding.

 Backyard Birdsong Guide October 28, 2008
The product arrived quickly, however the batteries that came with it were dead which was not satisfactory.
 Offering an interactive format in audio word as well as written language and visual images October 13, 2008
Any home library strong in field guides probably has more than one bird book; but this is something different, offering an interactive format in audio word as well as written language and visual images. Some seventy unique birds from Western North America are featured, in a book which offers one-touch buttons of digital audios to pair with descriptions of songs, calls and behaviors. Home birders who want to identify by more than pictures will find this an easy, appealing guide with a difference.

excellent October 13, 2008
Good pictures, excellent recordings, calls are in the order of the birds listed in the book, and you can fast-forward through the calls. Besides typical male songs to females, the book contains other types of calls for some birds. I was impressed by the analysis of some calls, for example explaining the other bird calls some birds were mimicking, which is handy for the first-time listener. I bought this for my mother but will probably pick it up for myself for the portability rather than deciphering calls solely on my computer.
 i might like the book if it ever arrives October 9, 2008

 Backbirdsong Guide October 2, 2008
I bought this book for my dear sister-in-law who knows every bird and their song. I heard the book reviewed on National Public Radio and knew she would love it. She did! I surprised her and had Amazon mail it to her. XXXOOO
