Summary: Daddy, let's listen to bird songs...
Review: This is the second volume of the Texas bird song series.I got this tape together with the first volume a few years ago and listened to it every now and then. When I would drive the little one around I would put in this tape for him to listen to. Now he is old enough to ask for what he wanted to. Very often he asks to listen to the "bird songs" tape. Now at home when he hears birds singing outside he says excitedly, "Shh, quiet. Bird songs." He is even able to pick out a mockingbird song from a bluejay, not bad for a 2 1/2 year old! I do like the bird songs and they sound fine. but the voice over narration before each song sounds like the guy is in another room as in the first volume. Maybe the should have asked some local mixmaster DJ to dub the voice to where it sounds normal. This is not a condition of the tapes age as I noticed this as soon as I unwrapped the tape and plopped it in the tape player. This is the only flaw on this tape, and not much of one but there you go. The cassette comes with 12 small photos of the birds in question on the tape. In Vol.2 you get a few more different birds on the tape (16 as opposed to 12) The birds are the: Olive Sparrow, Laughing Gull, Barn Swallow, Bewick's Wren, Indigo Bunting, Scissor-Tailed Flycatcher, Eastern Tufted Titmouse, Chuck-Will's-Widow, Black Necked Stilt, Marsh Wren, Golden-Cheeked Warbler, Blue Jay, Red-Shouldered Hawk, Ruby-Throated Hummingbird, Northern Cardinal, and the White-Eyed Viero. I delighted in discovering that the Laughing Gull is name of the gull that follows the gulf coast shrimpers. The sound they make is unmistakable.
