Seeing Birds
with your Ears
We can see birds with our ears. Through trees. Around corners. In the dark. Behind our heads.
Birding By Ear CD teaches how to know birds by their sounds. If you recognize the cedar waxwing's high, thin, lisp, you'll be alerted to the birds' presence even before you see them.
There's a version for Eastern North America and one for Western. We recommend them.
