Bird Talk: Hilariously Accurate Ways to Identify Birds by the Sounds They Make

Autor Becca Rowland
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 iul 2025
A hilarious, informative, and vibrantly illustrated guide to 101 bird songs that sound surprisingly familiar.
Have you ever gone for a walk in the woods and wondered what bird was making a sound like a siren going off, or somebody revving a chainsaw engine-or sneezing? Do you hear birds every day, in the park or your neighborhood, but never know quite what you are listening to?
Birds are singing all around us, and author and illustrator Becca Rowland, aka Girl in White Glasses, connects the dots between their songs and the birds who make them, helping you to easily identify and remember their calls. Combining illustrations of common and rare birds with fascinating facts and whimsical descriptions of their calls, this book is full of humor and charm.
From space lasers to cheeseburgers, Bird Talk introduces you to the weird and wonderful world of bird songs.
