The Singing Life of
Birds
Donald Kroodsma, 482 pages, hardcover:
$28.00.
Houghton Mifflin, 2005.
Have you ever
wished you could distinguish the song of a wood thrush from that of
a hermit thrush? Kroodsman's new book combines his personal
observations of birds with scientific descriptions of how they
develop their songs. Accompanying diagrams show the pitch and
relative loudness of the notes in a bird's song, and the book
includes a CD with nearly 100 different examples. Kroodsma's
enthusiasm will help even novice bird-listeners appreciate the
subtle harmonies of their feathered friends.
