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?
In this episode of the Bird Nerd Book Club, Hannah talks with author and illustrator Becca Rowland, aka Girl in White Glasses, who connects the dots between bird songs and the birds who make them, helping you to easily identify and remember their calls in her book, Bird Talk: Hilariously Accurate Ways to Identify Birds by the Sounds They Make. Combining illustrations of common and rare birds with fascinating facts and whimsical descriptions of their calls, this book is full of humor and charm.
Many birders line their shelves with field guides from across the world, travel tales from explorers, and scientific studies both recent and historical. The Bird Nerd Book Club takes a look at all genres of books from romantic fiction to biographies and memoirs to species guides. Join Hannah as she talks with authors about their beloved and new books all related to birds.
