HI:
This morning I spent about 3 hours with Donald Kroodsma, author of " The
Singing Life of Birds". A group of about 12 birders went on a birdwalk
with him and then he discussed his book. He talked about black-capped
chickadee regional dialects, why the winter and marsh wrens should be
divided into western and eastern species (in North America), towhee and
song sparrows songs and wood thrush songs. He also talked about the
philosophical/ artistic side of studying bird song. An interesting 3
hours!
