Backyard bird sounds

Fred Van Gessel

We can hear birdsongs anywhere, whether we live in the city or in the country. Without the musical backdrop provided by our feathered friends, our gardens, parks, woods and fields would be relatively silent and much the poorer for it. Often we hear their calls, but cannot see the birds making them. This easy to use package of book and CD offers insight into the secret world of birds. The CD features 90 tracks of bird songs and calls of species commonly found in gardens all over Australia. Each audio track is numbered to coincide with the guide for quick reference. The book also presents full-colour photographs of the birds, distribution maps and interesting text about their habits, feeding and nesting routines, as well as their calls
