An essential guide to one of the world's great birding destinations. The first in a series of audio field guides to the birds of Mexico. This CD is a resource to scientists and bird watchers to enhance their ability to identify bird species in the region via their vocalizations and sounds. The vocalizations of birds in the Yucatan Peninsula, and Mexico in general, have not been comprehensively documented. This CD represents a long-term effort to document, archive, and disseminate recordings of bird vocalizations and the soundscapes in which these animals live and communicate. In light of the Peninsula's rapidly changing environment, documenting and archiving bird vocalizations is urgent. Because all of the recordings on the CD were made in the Yucatan Peninsula they also provide information on geographic variation (i.e., dialects) in species vocalizations. Includes a 32 page booklet with photos and text in both English and Spanish. Review I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Bird Songs of Mexico: Yucatan Peninsula Volume 1. The 74-minute CD is remarkably free of distracting noise such as wind, surf, traffic, human sounds, insects, and other species of birds seemingly a lifetime of expert sound recording with excellent 3-D equipment. All songs and calls were recorded in the wild on the Yucatan Peninsula so these are the actual calls that one would hear in the Yucatan. For resident species, both songs and calls are included. For the migrants, which do not sing on their wintering grounds, only their various conversational calls and alarm notes are included. For nearly all species, several different calls are included, either two or more calls of the same individual, or calls of different individuals of the same species. I especially enjoyed listening to the song of the Yellow-Olive Flycatcher, a song that is so high pitched that I have not been able to hear it in the field. Every birder who anticipates going to the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico would be well advised to listen to this CD ahead of time and take it and a CD player along on the trip. --Chandler Robbins, USGS-Patuxent Wildlife Research Center Track Listing (97 tracks) 1.
