Land Birds of North America: songs and essential calls

Land Birds of North America includes songbirds, raptors, upland gamebirds and other land-based bird species. For each species, these songpacks include the song—the vocalization typically given by males during breeding season. View samples.

For species that lack true song, or for which songs are seldom heard, we include at least one other commonly heard sound useful in the field. Our songpacks strive to show the full range of typical variation encountered in the field.

Identification notes from Michael O'Brien provide indispensable tips on how to distinguish confusing species. The complete collection includes 344 species, 394 calls, and over 1650 audio samples. View the complete species list.
