Excellent recordings - but hard to self-test Marcus Peacock I decided to get serious about learning bird song for the Eastern US but had a hard time figuring out which CD to buy. What I found was no one CD does it all, they all have pros and cons. I ended up with 4 CDs -- and a DVD. Below is my take on them. In the end, while it took a bit of persistence, learning bird song has been an extremely rewarding experience, adding a new dimens. Beautiful Book hchatter I had this book over 5 years ago and lent it to someone who never returned it. I could not remember the name, only the cover picture. I searched in book stores now and again but never found it. Somehow I came across it online while looking for something else and just had to order it. It has beautiful photos of 50 common birds found in the backyard/city, countryside, wetland, an. Aviary Symphony C. G. King This book and CD are superbly done as are all of Lang Elliot's bird offerings. The pictures are wonderful and the text is useful for identification. There are 50 species covered in four categories: Backyard/City, Countryside, Wetland and Forest.The CD tracks for each bird are introduced only with the bird's name and the number that corresponds with the page number in the book.
