Bill will tell you that the Northern Flicker's song on the accompanying cd is the exact same as the Killdeer's, but of course that's crazy talk. The cd made my cats go insane & try to attack the cd player, so that was awesome.

This is a very nicely presented book, with crisp, lovely photos and an enclosed CD.
