Additional Stokes Field Guide to Bird Songs: Western Region Information
|
The easiest way to locate and identify the widest variety of bird species is often through sound. These clear recordings allow listeners to identify not only more species, but also more sounds per species, including their unique songs and calls. Comprehensive and informative, each entry starts with the name of the bird, followed by its respective song and call. Additionally, both audio packages contain a companion booklet featuring a brief introduction to bird sounds, an alphabetical index to Western birds, common and scientific names of each bird, habitats and locations of each bird, a list of the bird's sounds by name with brief descriptions of the functions of these sounds, and much more.

What Customers Say About Stokes Field Guide to Bird Songs: Western Region:

I also have BirdJam Maker for organization of both Eastern and Western Stokes on my iPod. Great tool for recognizing birds both by picture and sound. Loading onto my iPod Touch was simple and without problems.
For example if you want a Western Bluebird you can't look under W, as the track is titled Eastern & Western Bluebird. This was done in order to be able to fit more than 99 species onto each CD. However the downside is that if you stick it onto your iPod you can't just search by alphabetical order. This is a good product and very good value for money. You have to browse by taxonomic order, which is a lot slower. First, the name of the bird is spoken at the start of each recording. The recordings are clear (though perhaps a little shorter than on some other bird call CDs I have purchased).For the benefit of anyone buying this to put the calls onto their iPod, there are two things that are less than ideal. Second, as noted in other reviews some tracks comprise the calls of two species.
Very handy and easy to use as a reference and for use with the BirdJam for iPod, but not as good for a starter just learning.
Product as described. Fast shipping. Would recommend. Great product. Only negative is that the cd case doesn't open and close easily.
The Stokes field guide to birdsongs of eastern and western north america are an excellent way to learn how birds attract mates and communicate to announce and protect their territory.
