The boat trip also offered some good looks at the Yellow-headed Blackbirds nesting along the shores.

A special box shows the differences amongst hawk and eagle copulation sounds. It includes sounds made by American Goldfinch, Bachman’s Sparrow, Hooded Warbler, Magnolia Warbler, and Red-winged Blackbird. Pieplow has here expanded the scope and raised the bar, making the spectrogram THE core of the field guide.
