This proven method has momentously enhanced the meadow experience for birders across North America. The authors have made 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 establish east of the Rockies. Combine the auditory instruction here with the visual features of the Peterson Identification System.

I’m just getting ongoing listening to this, but it appears to be a well-done audio production for its purpose. For a name interested in what songs are done by what birds, I would recommend this CD set.

The cds are very excellent. The organization and presentation are the best I have heard thus far. I especially appreciate the acknowledgement that the pneumonics they use are their favorites and how they encourage everyone to form their own and not rely only on persons of others. Until using this collection I was very frustrated in that I could not tell to the “tricks” of others to identify calls or songs. I now know that I must make my own learning tools in order to go forwards with bird call and song recognition.

I work in a state park, and it has been very frustrating trying to learn my birds. I do okay when I see the bird, to the extant that I am able to say what the bird’s main features are, though I do not permanently know what the bird is. Then, the additional park employees recommended Birding by Ear: Eastern/Central. What a difference!
The intelligent groupings of characteristic sounds and the commentary for each species was incredibly helpful. The first time I listened to the cd’s, I was pleasantly surprised when I heard a song and KNEW that I had heard it before while effective in my park! I have been practicing whistling some of the songs along with the cd, as well as adage the mnemonic devices which helps when I am out in the meadow. You really do start to hear the verbal phrases. I am pleased to say that I now know five birds by call, which is five more than I knew a month ago!

I am enjoying using these CD’s. Learning bird songs and calls is like learning a new language. I like that, in these CD’s, the songs and calls are, for all intents and purposes, separated out from additional birds. You can clearly hear the bird on which you are focusing. I also like that the songs and calls are repeated. The explanations and “handles” to “grab on to” to hold the particular songs and calls are helpful. (In my opinion, the narrator in these CD’s is a bit off, tone-wise, when he imitates the bird with a “handle” axiom, but the axiom is still helpful.)
I mainly listen to the CD’s in the car, but in a perfect world, I would listen AND look at the bird I am hearing. I reflect that would help me learn better. Also, the birds are heard in groupings; I want to be able to go to the song of a particular bird, rather than a grouping, but…
still a fantastic set of CD’s!
