Excerpt from Randall Frost's review in Bird Watcher's Digest:
"As a casual birder, I liked this book enormously...On a recent bird walk, after hearing a quail in the brush, I played the vocalization from the book, and was rewarded with two identical assembly calls, one coming from nearby and another from a somewhat greater distance...It was remarkable that the quality of the recordings was acceptable to these birds, given that birds are much more sensitive to their vocalizations than are humans. If bird song is a gift of the gods, Bird Songs appears to be a match made in heaven."
