Birding by Ear: Western North America
de Richard K. Walton, Robert W. Lawson(Ed. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) Isbn : 0395975263
28.5 €
Birding by Ear: Western is a unique and important new tool for birders. Now they can master one of the most useful and difficult field skills - the ability to recognize birds by their songs and calls. Birding By Ear: Western points out exactly what to listen for to tell one bird from another. As the Peterson Field Guide groups birds by visual similarity, Birding by Ear: Western groups them by acoustic similarity. Dick Walton and Bob Lawson have arranged ninety-one common species into nineteen intelligible learning groups - "sing-songers," "trillers," "name-sayers," "warbling songsters," and many others. The entertaining and educational narrative does the same job as the arrows in the Peterson Field Guide to Eastern Birds, pinpointing the precise differences between similar species. The son...

Birding by Ear: Eastern and Central North America
de Richard K. Walton, Robert W. Lawson(Ed. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) Isbn : 0618225900
28.5 €
BIRDING BY EAR uses an educational and entertaining method for learning bird songs. Instead of merely providing a catalog of bird song samples, BIRDING BY EAR actually teaches. This proven method has greatly enhanced the field experience for birders across North America. The authors have created learning groups of similar vocalizations and clearly point out distinguishing characteristics. Using techniques such as phonetics, mnemonics, and descriptive words, Walton and Lawson provide a context for learning the songs and calls of eighty-five species of birds found east of the Rockies. Combine the auditory instruction here with the visual features of the Peterson Identification System. Page numbers in BIRDING BY EAR's booklet refer to species descriptions in the PETERSON FIELD GUIDE TO BIRDS ...

The Verb 'to Bird': Sightings of an Avid Birder
de Peter Cashwell(Ed. Paul Dry Books, Inc) Isbn : 1589880005
21.8 €
Birders know that the word bird is not only a noun (a feathered animal) but also a verb (to bird is simply to look for birds). Cashwell, an English teacher from Virginia, rhapsodizes on both birds and birding in the quirky exploration of an obsession. He draws on his literary background as he mixes accounts of birding trips with asides about birding language (a gaggle of geese) or muses on the introduction of Europe's common starling to the U.S. because it is mentioned in one of Shakespeare's plays. Pop culture also receives its due, as the differences between the two species of meadowlarks are compared to the differences between Chuck Jones' and Tex Avery's animation. Cashwell throws in some of the fine points of birding and takes the reader along on some trips while he gets to the essenc...
