Summary: Remarkable book in a small package
Comment: This book is fascinating and much easier to carry than the larger format books that I purchased previously. The reference section at the end is especially helpful. If there is a bird you are particularly interested in, the reference section tells you how to listen to longer recordings of the songs of that bird if they are available (for free).

Summary: Awesome!
Comment: I have always wondered what bird was singing while out in the backyard - and now I have something to help me. This book is great! The bird singing is so realistic that my dogs go nuts looking for the birds! The book also has a lot of info on the birds and the artist renditions are wonderful. LOVE THIS BOOK!

Summary: Offering an interactive format in audio word as well as written language and visual images
Comment: 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 Eastern 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.
