What's that cooing sound coming from deep in the woods? What distinguishes the song of the western bluebird from that of a mountain bluebird?

You'll quickly become an expert in identifying birds with the help of Birdsongs of the Pacific Northwest.

It covers hawks, owls, woodpeckers, waterfowl, hummingbirds, swallows, wrens, thrushes, wood warblers, finches, sparrows, and more.
