The Sound Approach to birding
Mark Constantine
A revolutionary new approach! Learn the facts of bird sound while listening to over 200 beautiful exclusive stereo recordings from all over the world. Combining anecdote, scientific theory and practical field experience the Sound Approach to birding is a step-by-step guide through tone, pitch, rhythm, reading sonograms, acoustics, and using sounds to age and sex birds. It explains how bird sounds are often the first indication of previously unrecognised taxonomic splits, and explains how to identify them. With the Sound Approach you can maximise the use of sound in enhancing your field skills, and improving your standards of identification, whatever the level of your experience. 192 pages.
