Birdscapes -- Get ready for the most groundbreaking entry to date in the best-selling Birdsongs series (more than 400,000 copies sold!). Birdscapes delivers an immersive birding experience never before seen—or heard—in any book. For the eyes: seven elaborately engineered, full-color pop-ups portraying dozens of bird species in diverse North American habitats, from the Alaskan Tundra to a Southeast swamp. For the ears: extended recordings of the birds' calls and songs in stereo from the collection of the world-renowned Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. For the serious birder: scientifically accurate illustrations of the birds and moving text about their fragile ecosystems. This beautifully crafted volume is a visual and audio delight!

Miyoko Chu is director of communications at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the author of Songbird Journeys: Four Seasons in the Lives of Migratory Birds.

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology is a nonprofit institution located in Ithaca, New York. Its mission is to interpret and conserve the earth's biological diversity through research.

This book is a treasure! Each pop-up habitat literally sings with the authentic sounds of birds. My class keeps postponing recess just to go from page to page picking their favorites. The text generated so much interest and enthusiasm about birds and their native environments, we wrote stories, did reports, and shared Birdscapes with younger and older classes.
