Waterbirds Of Ohio Bird Sounds by Division Of Wildlife CD NEW

Description: Here's Bird Sounds Waterbirds of Ohio CD....brand new still sealed.....This CD contains 138 species of birds that occur in Ohio’s wetlands. Many of these sounds were recorded in Ohio, and each speciesincludes songs and calls that are typically heard. Habitat can be a clue to a bird’s identity, and many birders also use mnemonics – memorydevices – to help learn and remember songs. Refer to the text in the booklet that accompanies this CD for helpful information regardinghabitats, and tips that might aid in learning these sounds, as well as good places to look for them.Unlike songbirds, which are in the order Passeriformes and are renowned for their singing, most of the birds on this CD are nonpasserines. For many birders, using vocalizations to identify these species is not nearly as important as for the songbirds, and for the mostpart, this group of birds do not “sing,” at least in the way that an American robin or hooded warbler does. However, as you will see, manyof the birds included here make a fascinating array of sounds. We may not hear all of them as they migrate through Ohio, as they generallyvocalize only on their nesting grounds; some species herein don’t breed here. Also, some species included are rare. Nevertheless, it iseducational to be aware of their calls, and this knowledge adds to one’s appreciation of the species. Also, some of these are marsh birds,and far more likely to be heard than seen, so knowing their sounds will help birders find them.We have also included phonetic pronunciations of the scientific names of each species. While knowing the technical names is not vital,they do reveal an interesting history of the birds’ name in many cases. Scientific names are binomials – the first name is the genus, and thesecond is the species. In brackets after each is the definition of these words, which were given to the bird at the time it was first describedto science – often over two hundred years ago, although some have changed since then. A wonderful resource for learning more about birdetymology is The Dictionary of American Bird Names, by Ernest A. Choate (1985).Knowing the sounds of our birds is important to becoming a better birder, as many birds are quite secretive and hard to see, buttheir calls are easily heard. The birder with knowledge of songs and calls will find more birds, includingmany that would otherwise go undetected. In some cases the best way toconfirm an identification is by the song or call. Finally, learning thevocalizations of Ohio’s birds can greatly increase one’s enjoymentof the natural world
