American Bird Conservancy presents “The Sound of Conservation: The Science and Stories of Bird Song”

Whether sounding an alarm, attracting a mate, or simply announcing their presence, birds have a remarkable range of vocalizations. Learning to recognize the intricacies of these sounds is not only a fascinating skill, but also a way to better understand bird behavior and appreciate the unique characteristics of each distinct species. The vast array of bird sounds is nearly as remarkable as the diversity of birds themselves. From the complex melody of the Wood Thrush to the throaty croak of a Yellow-crowned Night Heron and the squeaky whistle of Hawaiʻi’s ʻIʻiwi, each song provides a new window into the world of birds. But through their sounds, in their abundance or scarcity, birds are also telling us something about the state of their habitats and the health of a species’ population. We just have to learn how to listen.

 Join ABC on Wednesday, December 2 at 4 p.m. ET for an exploration of bird sound, from the basics of songs and call identification to the latest tools to study bird populations and communities. So tune in, listen up, and discover what all the chirping is about!
