Oho !! Subsequent to my plea in post 806 for indexers to include bird songs and calls in their indexes/indices, here's me actually doing it ... well, a bit of it .... a sort of toe- in- the- water attempt ...... and so as not to overdo things, I chose the dinkiest bird ID book I could find to get started ...... one you'll all probably have on your shelves.
