I hope you had the opportunity to be outside this past weekend since spring has truly arrived. The sky was a wonderous blue, the weather was glorious, and the birds were lustfully calling, chirping, and singing.
People are often captivated by the sounds and trills of birds and often use birdsong as a way to identify them. Children and adults appreciate the creative vocalizations as much as the viewings of them in their natural habitats.
If you want to explore the world of birdsongs, the library can assist. Donald E. Kroodsma's The Singing Life of Birds, David Rothenberg's Why Birds Sing : A Journey Through the Mystery of Bird Song, and Don Stap's Birdsong guide you through the mysteries and significance of bird songs and sounds. Recordings of birdsongs include Echoes of Nature: Morning Songbirds, Soo-Roo: Birdsongs and Why Birds Sing.
