Very useful tool for learning as well as in the field I had already purchased the set for the Western US. What is so great about Stokes is the fact they do not rush through the birds, but give plenty of time on each bird, so you are usually able to hear a nice repertoire of their song and call.
The recordings are more complete, including call notes and other noises that can make the difference for a positive identification. Hands down the best field guide to songs available. I've tried all the others - this one is the best.
Very handy and easy to use as a reference and with BirdJam for iPod, but not as good for a beginner just starting.
Would recommend. Great product. Only criticism is that the cd case doesn't open and close properly/easily.Fast shipment.
It is thorough, accurate and fun. You will even be able to ID the little guys by ear. Stokes Field Guide to Bird Songs can be downloaded on an i-pod and used in conjuction with "Bird Jam" software to allow easy field identification of birds. If you are a birder, and like to know what birds are around, this product will confirm your identifications.
