CHAPTERS FIXED!

Just had to hop on to offset the negative reviews since the chapters no longer have numbers but the birds names. It takes all of two seconds to pull up a birdsong you need. This, along with Merlin, is a great tool for memorizing a bird’s song. The pdf as further information about each song/call.

Bird watching and listening

A great guide for outdoor bird watching and listening. It also attracts the birds, while outdoor listening.

Would be SO much better if each bird song in the table of contents were listed by the bird’s name rather than a chapter number

All the birds you want to hear, and each recording is clear and distinct. Each chapter is a different bird’s song, but unfortunately is named by a chapter number rather than the bird’s name.

Ive been using this for years

ever since thus first came out on cd's I have driven around listening in my car starting in March, as an early taste of spring and to get ready for birding season. it's great to have this on my phone for reference. an invaluable resource for birders.

Chapter Names Fixed

I took a chance on this despite reviews saying it was hard to use because of chapters being named by number instead of bird. Not so any more! Now you can look up the bird's chapter and go directly to their sounds.

Too many, different, background bird calls.

My only issue is I wish they had edited-out the background bird calls that weren't the target species.

For a novice, such as myself, that can be very confusing.

Nice recordings but not user-friendly overall

The recordings of bird songs and calls are great, but one terrible stumbling block makes this product not user-friendly. As you're looking at your mobile phone, all 280 chapters are NOT LABELED BY BIRD! It's just "Chapter 1, Chapter 2, etc" so you have no way to skip to the bird you're trying to hear again and learn. So frustrating. Don't the editors have any care for people trying to learn? We've been out of the compact disk world for ages -- PLEASE update your Audible chapter headings!

Lastly, it would be nice if there were more variations of each song presented here. That being said, it does a good job of choosing the most common variations.

Not ready for Audible yet

What would have made Stokes Field Guide to Bird Songs: Eastern Region better?

I downloaded this and there were no identifiers for the songs. In otherwords, I couldn't look up a a specific bird song, which to me is the whole point of getting something like this. Very disappointed.

297 Untitled Chapters! 297!

Table of contents only gives chapter numbers. 3 1/2 hours of birdcalls with no way of finding the specie you are looking for without listening to 3 1/2 hours of audio and then compiling your own table of contents. How is this helpful? I feel like I have totally wasted my money and now my time. I highly recommend you do not waste your device's storage on this purchase.

No Chapter Names is MAJOR ISSUE

it is very inconvenient not having chapter names, it really makes this audiobook unusable unless you just want to listen to birds. If you’re trying to identify by sing, forget it because you’d have to listen to the entire book.
