    Extractions: Sounds Like Spring by Michael Morris, Parks Canada Nothing heralds the arrival of spring quite like the sounds of birds and I try to keep up with the stream of newly returned bird species to Columbia Mountains. Week by week, the morning soundscape grows in volume and variety, serving up the audio jewels we’ve missed all winter. Michael Morris photo Bird watchers may be known for the binoculars hanging around their necks, but due to the dense vegetation of this region, I prefer to keep track of the bird world more by listening than by looking. Bird sounds distinguish species better than any other trait. Increasing day length stimulates the production of the hormones that drive male birds to sing. They sing through the spring and early summer to establish territories and to attract mates. A female bird evaluates a male bird’s desirability as a partner by a careful examination of his vigour, usually expressed as bright plumage or the quality of his song. A male must be a successful forager to have enough energy to grow bright new feathers or to sing constantly during the spring courtship period. Brightly feathered male birds use appearance to intimidate rivals or catch the attention of females. In contrast, the muted plumage of some female birds seems intended for camouflage. Bright feathers or singing must make males much more susceptible to predation. All bird species have calls to their own kind, which they know when they are hatched. Alarm calls signal danger and location calls keep families or flocks in contact with each other. Generally, the birds with the elaborate songs belong to the least conspicuously coloured male birds.

64. SCORE: To Kill A Mockingbird--Bird Sounds
    The Texas State Bird Mockingbird (Photo courtesy Andrew Wilson) It is common for an individual bird to have as many as 2530 songs in its repertory.  
    http://www.sdcoe.k12.ca.us/score/tokil/bird3.htm
    
    Extractions: Tips on downloading and playing RealAudio ".ra" files] Ask any Texan, and you will no doubt learn that the mockingbird has the prettiest song of any bird native to North America. That's perhaps the chief reason the "mocker" was adopted as the state bird of Texas in 1927. The song of the mockingbird is, in fact, a medley of the calls of many other birds. Each imitation is repeated two or three times, then another song is started, all in rapid succession. In the above sample audio file, the songs of four distinct species were recorded in the span of about seven seconds. It is common for an individual bird to have as many as 25-30 songs in its repertory. The mockingbird is also known as a fierce protector of its nest and environment. It is sometimes seen swooping down on a dog, cat or predator that may be venturing too close to the bird's protected territory. The mimus polyglottos , as the mockingbird is known scientifically, is about ten inches in length, including its relatively long tail. It has a light gray coat and a whitish underside. Its wings and tail are darker gray with white patches.

CDROM for Windows 3.1/95/NT, Bird Songs International B.V., Wierengastraat 42, NL-9969 PD Westernieland, The Netherlands. $99.00.-Bird song has always been a difficult subject to reference, especially for Neotropical birds found far from established sound-recording infrastructures. As a consequence, the new CD-ROM Bird Sounds of Bolivia by Sjoerd Mayer represents a dramatic advancement in bird sound information for the Neotropics. I have been using this CD-ROM for the last year to review, study, and double-check my Bolivian bird song recordings. The CD-ROM format offers several advantages over cassette tapes and compact disks. One is quantity of information. Bird Sounds of Bolivia contains more than seven hours of bird sounds and hundreds of pages of stored text. The search function is another. I depend upon it greatly. To check a slight rattle, I enter woodpecker, click a few species' songs to get the rattle idea, then I can type woodcreeper to click through their rattle sounds. If I am still unsure, I can quickly type and click the common antbird species. Within 10 seconds, I can listen to any species that is available. The CD-ROM has little field practicality, but then again, my Ridgely and Tudor Birds of South America books do not get into the field much either. The CD-ROM cannot be used in the field as a playback tool, something that the compact disk format excels at.

    Extractions: Field Guides The western part of Africa has always been lagging behind southern and eastern Africa in terms of the quality of the birding literature available. This situation has now been admirably remedied and the guides to the birds of the region are now as good as any. Morocco and The Gambia are probably two of the most popular destinations but Cameroon, Ghana and Cote' d'Ivoire have been well set up for visiting birders and we offer a good selection of trip reports for these countries in other pages. Visitors to The Gambia and Senegal will be pleased that they have their own field guide which is excellent and also an associated sound guide. The Birds of Gambia and Senegal is highly recommended. For the North African countries - the Birds of North Africa and the Middle East is well worth having although many of the species will be readily recognised by European visiting birders and a good European guide may suffice. For sub-Saharan western Africa, the choice is limited and therefore made slightly easier! Birds of Western Africa by Borrow and Demey is a remarkable work and is a fantastic reference work but definitely not one for carrying around in the field. Van Perlos checklist is a much better option but definitely have a copy of the larger work in the car or at home - although the checklist has a huge number of small illustrations, it does lack substantial details and more detail will be needed to sort out those forest greenbuls!

Field Guides In recent years there has been a spate of excellent field guides available for the birder visiting the eastern part of Africa. Each has its own merits - some are better for use in the field than others whereas others have a more authoratitive text and are ideal reference works - excellent but bulky and probably best left in the vehicle when birding. We present the best of the bunch. If you're needing a field guide for Kenya then Zimmerman is the definitely the best bet but make sure to choose between the hardback and more portable (and revised) paperback version. However its scope is limited and if you are planning on visiting Uganda or Tanzania then you need to make other choices.

Now a CSIRO Honorary Fellow, he is the volunteer curator of the Sound Library at the Australian National Wildlife Collection. In this role he manages a unique collection of wildlife sounds comprising over 60,000 recordings of birds, frogs, mammals and insects, mostly from Australia but also from New Guinea, New Zealand, the Antarctic and a number of other countries around the world. "There’s no other large collection of wildlife sounds in Australia or New Zealand, this is easily the largest," he says. "And it would probably rank as the fifth or sixth best collection in the world." A great deal about the lyrebird and the role of mimicry in birds has been learnt from the study. For example, Robinson suggested that mimicry serves what he called a ‘phatic’ function: rather than having any specific meaning, the long and complex song of the lyrebird and other mimics is a form of socialisation employed by birds with large territories and little physical or visual contact with their neighbours. It says "I know you’re there, you know I’m here and all is right with the world" (or words to that effect).

    Extractions: by Vicki Piaskowski, Kerry Scanlan and Steve Mahler Bird sounds (vocalizations) can be divided into two main groups: songs and calls. Songs help establish territory and attract mates. Calls help birds communicate both on the ground and in the air. An interesting fact is that, while we can learn to recognize the type of species and possibly the sex of the bird we are listening to, birds actually can recognize distinct individuals within a group by their sounds. Songbirds have better developed voice structures than we humans do and some actually can sing two notes at the same time. The tonal qualities of bird songs may vary by the habitat in which birds live. Some tones may carry better in heavy woods than in open fields. COMMON BIRD VOCALIZATIONS THAT YOU CAN LEARN

It is a prerequisite for the application of the comparative method. Consistent with Simpson's (1961:7) definition of systematics as "the scientific study of the kinds and diversity of organisms and of any and all relationships among them", the systematist studies all aspects of living organisms. Such studies are often meaningless without a sound classification. The Sound Library is a broad research collection of avian communication signals. In practice, the collection comprises collections of bird calls (tapes, records, CD's, CD-ROMs) and behaviour (video, 35 mm slides cine film). The sound collection contains about 25 000 cuts of 2500 species and the slide collection houses more than 6000 slides of 760 species. the fundamental value of the collection is its relevance to taxonomic and systematic research. It is also an animal sounds analysis center and makes use of recent technological advance such as R-DAT, CD-ROM and computerized sound analysis software. This use enhances the service the collection can provide to academic, educational and commercial groups.

    Extractions: Nonvocal Sounds W hen we think of bird sounds, singing is the first thing that comes to mind. But many birds have found other ways of generating acoustical signals to serve functions usually accomplished by songs. Some bird sounds used in territorial and courtship displays are produced with their bills, feet, wings, or tails. Many songbirds clack their bills, but otherwise the use of such sounds in displays is limited primarily to species with poor singing abilities and occurs infrequently among the passerines. Mated storks and albatrosses often communicate with bill clattering and bill tapping, but the best-known use of bills to produce auditory displays among North American birds is the drumming of several woodpecker species. Both sexes engage in loud rhythmical drumming by striking their bills against a hollow or dried branch or, to the annoyance of many homeowners, metal gutters, stovepipes, drainpipes, and even trash cans! In the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Northern Flicker, Downy Woodpecker, and Hairy Woodpecker, drumming functions much as song does to proclaim territorial boundaries and to attract mates. Males of the eight hummingbird species that breed widely north of the Mexican border employ wind-and-feather-derived sounds in their territorial and courtship displays. Male Broad-tailed Hummingbirds use a shrill wing whistle when defending courting territories. Birds experimentally silenced by placing a thin film of glue on the tips of the noise-making primary feathers defended their territories less effectively. Presumably they could not communicate threat and were generally less aggressive because they did not hear their own buzzing flight.
