Birdsong for the Curious Naturalist

This is the perfect book for anyone who is learning about birds. Birdsong expert Donald Kroodsma includes QR codes for the songs of each bird he includes in the book.

What I learned:
Not all songbirds sing, and not all singing birds are songbirds.

The long winter is called the “Big Silence.”

It is usually the male who starts singing in spring.

Songs are distinguished from calls.

Some birds sing only one song while others sing many.

Some birds are born knowing a song, and others mimic others.
