This was a great program! Thanks to the North Branch Nature Center and Green Mountain Audubon Society for co-sponsoring it! Even if much of what Kroodsma says and writes about is difficult to “get” for me, I still have learned so much from reading his books and watching this program. If nothing else, everyone who sees it will come away with a new appreciation for the complexity of bird song and bird communication!

While I am deaf (firecracker at 16 years old) to much of what many hear, he accompanies his recordings with sonograms so I can at least see what I’m missing.
