2CD set 2003 produced by Neville Recording September the 19th,2003 was the official release date for Beginners Guide to B.C. Bird Song in honour of the Federation of BC Naturalists. This is a joint collaboration between Mel Coulson and John Neville. We have presented the bird songs of 84 species in eight easy lessons. Our goal is to assist people of all ages to recognize the bird songs around them. Backyard birds, forest ,marsh and grasslands of B.C. are all included. Where birds have a regional dialect, such as song sparrows and golden-crowned sparrows, we have given examples. There is a short quiz at the end of each lesson to help in the learning process. This two CD set provides an easy format for naturalists to make their own presentations and increase awareness in their community. We are hoping that naturalist clubs around the province will assist us to present the B.C. soundscape to adults and students alike. We have included a few birds that only experts can identify. We have done this to alert beginners to the more difficult challenges and allow them to exercise caution when identifying flycatchers and some alpine species. Did you enjoy Hadley's "Birdsong Tutor" course? We are pleased to announce a new course that you will enjoy: "Enjoying Birdsongs." Enjoying birdsongs helps people reduce stress, improve cognition and memory, interact with nature, and even have spiritual experiences. This course guides students through the many birdsongs presented in Hadley student John Neville's audio CD set Beginner's Guide to Bird Songs of North America. This course helps students become able to appreciate nature and birdsongs, as well as reflect on their experiences with birdsongs". |
