Learning Bird Songs

---

Green-tailed Towhee

Learning bird songs is a great way to increase your enjoyment of the outdoors and to improve your birding skills. There are so many birds though, where do you start? My good friend, Rob Cavallaro, gave me this short list of birds, divided by habitats, and suggested that they would be a good place to start. The idea is to learn the more common birds first and then start working on the songs and calls you still don't recognize.

I am sharing it with you to help you on your journey as well.
