Bird Talk is a lighthearted but useful and accurate guide to IDing birds based on the sounds they make collected by Becca Rowland. Released 24th June 2025 by Hachette on their Storey imprint, it's 256 pages and is available in paperback and ebook formats.
The author has a wry sense of humor and the book is absolutely full of clever (and accurate!) descriptions of the everyday sounds made by different North American bird species. She covers the common to the rare and each species description is accompanied by delightfully rendered simple (but identifiable) illustrations.
Four stars. Fun and quite useful. It would be a good choice for public or secondary school library, for home use, or for gift giving to a nature-loving friend.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
