Title: Nothing like it
Review: For those of us who are visual, the bird-call diagrams in this book are particularly helpful, and I've not found them in any other book. For example, we are shown that a Ring-Necked Pheasant exhibits a wing-whir after its song, even thought it can be difficult to hear in actual recordings.Some of the bird names, both common and scientific, are a bit out of date. The Boreal Chickadee is called the Acadian Chickadee here. Sedge Wren is Short Billed Marsh Wren.At rough count, there seem to be around 200 bird species documented here, and they (like many birding books) appear to have a slightly east-coast bias.
Is the review positive or negative?
