The easiest way to locate and identify the widest variety of bird species is often through sound. These clear recordings allow listeners to identify not only more species, but also more sounds per species, including their unique songs and calls. Comprehensive and informative, each entry starts with the name of the bird, followed by its respective song and call. Additionally, both audio packages contain a companion booklet featuring a brief introduction to bird sounds, an alphabetical index to Western birds, common and scientific names of each bird, habitats and locations of each bird, a list of the bird's sounds by name with brief descriptions of the functions of these sounds, and much more.

Stokes bird song field guide:
Very handy and easy to use as a reference and for use with the BirdJam for iPod, but not as good for a starter just learning.
Stokes Bird Song Western Region:
Great product. Only negative is that the cd case doesn't open and close easily. Fast shipping. Product as described. Would recommend.
magnificent birdsong recordings:
The Stokes field guide to birdsongs of eastern and western north america are an excellent way to learn how birds attract mates and communicate to announce and protect their territory.
This is the one to buy:
There is a pretty limited selection when it comes to birding sound cds. This is a good choice because each bird is given about 30 seconds of calls. I placed the entire cd into my iTunes library, then downloaded them into my iPod for field use. Really, calls and songs are the only sure way to identify birds when the bird could be one of several that look alike. (as most do).
