More Birding By Ear: Eastern and Central North America: A Guide to Bird-song Identification



Want to know what Twitter is really about?



If the original "Birding by Ear" I posted left you wanting more (hard as that is to imagaine),

than this might be the next challenge for you.

A continuation of the successful BIRDING BY EAR system for learning bird songs.

Covers 96 species



Worth mentioning what is said in the introduction: if you actually want to learn bird calls,

don't overload yourself with these. Active listening, a little at a time, is one recommended method.



But it will give new meaning to calling someone a Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker!

(I mean, of course, calling the bird to them... experts only please).



I scanned the cover, edited files names and MP3 tags - just for you.

!Bonus! 64 page booklet (black & white) scanned and included.



Chances are that if you're downloading this, you have a field guide of his on your shelf.

For quick identification and info, Peterson is the standard.

My preferred "deep reference" is "Sibley's Field Guide to Birds." (sibleyguides.com)

Just as the original BIRDING BY EAR audio introduces listeners to a unique method of learning and remembering bird songs, MORE BIRDING BY EAR employs these proven techniques for ninety-six additional species of birds found east of the Rockies. Walton and Lawson have created learning groups of similar vocalizations and clearly point out distinguishing characteristics, using phonetics, mnemonics, and other memory aids. MORE BIRDING BY EAR will increase your skill and enjoyment in the field by helping you learn the vocalizations of twenty-five species of warblers, all of the North American rails, and an assortment of terns, other waterbirds, and passerines. Many shorebird call notes are also included.



Combine the auditory instruction here with the visual features of the Peterson Identification System. Page numbers in MORE BIRDING BY EAR's booklet refer to species descriptions in the PETERSON FIELD GUIDE TO BIRDS OF EASTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH AMERICA, fifth edition.



Roger Tory Peterson, one of the world's greatest naturalists, received every major award for ornithology, natural science, and conservation, as well as numerous honorary degrees, medals, and citations, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The Peterson Identification System has been called the greatest invention since binoculars, and the Peterson Field Guides are credited with helping to set the stage for the environmental movement.
