"Learn not only to hear but to see birds sing, in the form of sonagrams, as these visual images dance across the pages while you listen to the accompanying CD." "Using your trained ears and eyes, you can begin your own journeys of discovery. Listen anew to birds in your backyard and beyond, exploring the singing minds of birds as they tell all that they know. Join Kroodsma in identifying, and identifying with, singing birds, connecting with nature's musicians in a whole new way."--BOOK JACKET |
