Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Building on the tremendous sucess 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.

My parents were avid bird watchers for many years. Now they are in their late 80's and don't get out as much as they once did. I gave them this book for Christmas to let them remember the songs of some of the birds that they don't get a chance to watch anymore. They have made great use of the book since.

My grandson received this book as a gift and I had to have one. We recently moved to a home with a yard full of trees and bushes, a great habitat to attract and feed birds. I have been able to identify some of them by their song and the gorgeous pictures displayed in this book. I believe I have just developed a new and enjoyable hobby.

The very first copy of this book I received did not work. It was a birthday gift so we were very disappointed. We exchanged the book and the replacement works just fine. This book is good for the casual backyard watcher, but I think the hard core bird watcher would want a little more. Sound clips were a bit short. Sound quality is moderate.
It reminds me of those old pull string things I had when I was a kid. "The cow says.... moooooo" etcetera. This book is a lot like those games, only with a lot more sounds.
We like it and it has been helpful. I would give it a 4 star, but the very first copy didn't work. I took off another star for poor quality.

This was a gift for avid birdwatchers who still seemed pleased with the book; I'd heard the author speak about it, and how as we get older sometimes seeing the markings birders depend on gets harder, and how useful knowing the songs can be. Our recipients reported delight so that seems to confirm the appropriateness of book for all levels of birders.
