Nathan's new sound guide--to the rescue

[ROBERT RIGHTER]

Hi

While birding at Crow Valley today I heard a nuthatch sound that confused me- was it a variation of the Red-breasted or a variation of White-breasted? The White-breasted would be the expected nuthatch but the way the Red-breasted has recently been motoring around to locations where it hadn’t been known before, I became doubtful which one I was hearing. Unfortunately the nuthatch, annoyingly, never ever showed it’s self.

At home I checked Nathan’s new field guide to bird sounds and studied the two nuthatch species, pages 314 & 315 which was suggesting me to towards the Red-breasted, but I was still not convinced that it wasn't a variation of the White-breasted. I then went to petersonsonsoundbirds.com where one can easily listen to all of Nathan’s recording—a wealth of information in bird sound.  After listening to numerous sounds and calls of each nuthatch I concluded the sound I was hearing was most likely the Red-breasted. Nathan’s new field—Field Guide to Bird Sounds —— comes to the rescue.

Cheers,

Thanks to Bob Righter for his kind words about the Peterson Field Guide to Bird Sounds. The correct link to the website is:

http://petersonbirdsounds.com

No purchase of the book is necessary to listen to the 5,500 sounds on the website! The geographic area covered by the eastern volume extends west only to about I-25, but I am hard at work on the western volume right now.
