Drawing from the collection of the world-renowned Macaulay
Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Bird Songs
presents the most notable North American birds including the
rediscovered Ivory-billed Woodpecker in a stunning new
format. Renowned bird biologist Les Beletsky provides a
succinct description of each of the 250 birds profiled, with
an emphasis on their distinctive songs. Lavish full-color
illustrations accompany each account, while a sleek,
built-in digital audio player holds 250 corresponding songs
and calls. In his foreword, North American bird expert and
distinguished natural historian Jon L. Dunn shares insights
gained from a lifetime of passionate study. Complete with
the most up-to-date and scientifically accurate information,
Bird Songs is the first book to capture the enchantment of
these beautiful birds in words, pictures, and song. The
Cornell Lab of Ornithology, located in Ithaca, New York, is
a nonprofit institution focused on birds and whose mission
is to interpret and conserve the earth's biological
diversity through research. The Macaulay Library at the
Cornell Lab is the major source of sound recordings of birds
for research, education, conservation, the media, and
commercial products.
