No common names?!
by Bill in USA
The recordings are fine, I suppose, but the tracks are identified only by scientific (Latin) name. This makes usage incredibly difficult for the average birder who will be learned common (English) names. Had I known this little fact, I never would have bought the set. And how could the publisher, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, be so short sighted?
A major disappointment.
