Bird Songs: 250 North American Birds in Song

A colleague of mine has bought this Bird Songs: 250 North American Birds in Song and put it in the lunch room for us to play with. The book has brief descriptions of commonly seen birds in North America, and comes with sound tracks of the their songs! The drawings and the sound tracks are from the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. I have been spending a lot of my lunch time playing the songs these days.

I hear this bird song at home all the time. It turns out to be the song of Pileated Woodpeckers.
