Publications graphic for home page blurb
I’ve just discovered your CD/book sets recently & wish I’d known about them long ago, since all my life I’ve wondered what the creatures were that were making the beautiful racket in marshes & empty spaces I’d drive past at night & made the summers sound so wonderful. Now I know the choruses of common true katydids; the differences between bullfrog & green frog calls, & scissor-grinder cicadas at dusk – not to mention a million interesting calls of birds with a name to them at last – such as the ‘comb’ calls of blue-jays, which are hilarious. These sets are truly wonderful & identifying them with pictures could not have been easy – I never saw some of these katydids & cicadas high in treetops, even on Baltimore’s golfcourses where I’ve worked part-time since retirement selling hot dogs at the 9th hole & have had members & maintenance staff going crazy trying to locate them along with me! And now I know some of this at last! Can’t wait to show the books & play some of the CDs of these mystery singers at the golf course when it opens again for the season. Thank you, thank you.
I’ve been luckily able to get 9 sets so far with both books & CDs from Thriftbooks & Amazon, but am not having any luck getting “Common Birds & Their Songs”, either new or used that arrive with the CD too. Is it possible to get it from here?
