A nice day with the windows open....

I put this on to hear the 🐦 etc. outside freaking out. The 32-page booklet includes illustrations of each species and a paragraph or more detailing the birdsong (or birdcall) and something about the species. There are also spectrograms erroneously called spectrographs.
