For excellent songs and calls, we have used for years, the CD-ROMs from The Cornell Lab of Ornithology's "Guide to Birds of North America" (versions 2.0 & 3) These are produced by
Thayer birdingsoftware. This link brings you to version 4, which is less $ than the "Gold Edition.
Clean up your binoculars, get out there, and enjoy the New Bird Arrivals. Many more are coming every week to a habitat near you, during this busy, migrating, month of May.
I saw an indigo bunting, rose breasted grosebeak, orial, hummingbird, and all the other "regulars" at our feeders this week. And I go crazy when I hear and see the pileated woodpeckers in the trees. All these years and we fianlly have them around here.
