R. Tory Peterson: Audio Field Guide to Bird Songs of Eastern, Central N. America - 1961 - Complete

Roger Tory Peterson (August 28, 1908 – July 28, 1996) was an American naturalist, ornithologist, illustrator and educator, held to be one of the founding inspirations for the 20th-century environmental movement. The initial introductory narration is by Peterson, who is followed by Dr. Arthur Allen of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (founded by Allen in 1915). The images in this video -- taken from the table of contents that is printed on the LP jacket -- correspond more or less with the narration so that listeners can identify the songs they are hearing. Songs include those of the Common Loon, Gannet, Eared Grebe, Great Blue Heron, American Egret, Louisiana Heron, White Ibis, Whistling Swan, Snow Goose, Wood Duck, Pintail, Blue Winged Teal, and Green Heron. (The complete listing appears in the video.)
