 Bird Songs July 17, 2008
I got this for my Dad for Fathers Day and he loves it. He was impressed with the quality of the recordings and the different meanings of the songs that some birds sing.

Accidentally on Purpose: A One-Night Stand, My Unplanned Parenthood, and Loving the Best Mistake I Ever Made
This bird book is an excellent choice for children and first time birders. The descriptive text gives enough "serious" information without being overwhelming, as many bird books are. Moreover the recorded bird sounds are great. Children, with their vast memories, are fascinated by it. I find my children (8, 6, & 4) were able to pick out individual birdsongs from the usual backyard chatter after just a few listens.
Amazing way to identify birds in a whole new medium! June 27, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I LOVE this book! How often is it that you cannot see the birds you are trying to identify very well? I find it is more likely that you are able to hear them more clearly than they can be seen, and this book allows you to identify by sound, it's great. It can also be great fun to excite most cats and drive them a bit crazy. I hightly recomend this book to everyone.
An Excellent Way to Learn the Sounds of the Birds Around Us. June 24, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book is a great way to become familiar with the birds that surround our environment. It is an easy access book. The sound and mini speaker system works very well. No more looking in books that try to describe in words the bird's sound. No more trying to locate the specific bird sound on a CD. Just look up the bird and punch the number and there you are, quick and easy. It is a great book at a great price! It is a must for anyone who enjoys the little winged angels that visit our yards. The illustrations are also accurate and beautiful.
Fine birding experience June 19, 2008

This book is suitable for all ages! The bird calls are clear and easily recognizable with what you hear in your "backyard". Good learning tool.
You can call birds with these recordings and they will answer you. Easy to use and worth every penny.
