From the Publisher

Introduction

Of all the different animals, birds are arguably best known for their amazing and varied sounds. Often, it is their sounds that we remember best. Whether it is the wailing laugh of a Common Loon, the bugling of a flock of swans or long-legged Sandhill Cranes, the honking of a flock of Canada Geese, or the ethereal of haunting songs of the many thrushes, the songs of birds captivate us.
