Listen and Learn by John P. Tindall (Kent, England)  5 Stars
October 23, 2009
It has been frustrating trying to use audio tapes to learn to identiy bird calls. Now I finally have a source to picture in my mind the bird while listening to the calls. My retention has improved markedly and I'm grateful for this very fine book.

Bird Songs by L. J. DornODonnell (New Jersey)  4 Stars
October 02, 2009
This is a great book - alot of information as well as the songs of the birds. The only thing was that the batter didn't last very long & had to be replaced, but other than that I would definately recommend this product.

The Pleasing Sight & Sound of Song Birds... by Isaac Ho (Canada) 5 Stars
April 20, 2009
I bought this wonderful book recently because of the hundreds of accurate drawings of Song Birds. Most importantly, this book comes with a three-battery operated sound of birds being described. I find this piece of INNOVATION to be extremely helpful in that at a slight touch, the particularly sound of the bird is being accurate reproduced. This innovation really helps me in the field when a song bird is observed and then comparison could be made to its distinctive call and territorial song to attract a female. This book with the sound feature could be taken to the field and assist greatly in bird-watching around the world. I highly recommend this "intelligent" book to fellow bird-watchers.
Cheers...!
