My mom listened to the Borror records all the time when I was growing up. This is for her.
Happy Mother’s Day, Mom!

INTRODUCTION
This record is designed primarily for people who want to learn to recognize birds by their songs. It is impossible in a single record to include all the songs of all the birds one might hear in any section of the eastern United States, but the songs on the record are of relatively common and widely distributed species.
The selections for this record were made from a collection of several thousand recordings, based principally on how typical each was for the species concerned.
Bird vocalizations are sometimes roughly classified into two groups, songs and calls. The distinction between these two groups is not easily drawn, but a bird’s songs are generally more complex than its calls, they are heard principally (or solely) in the spring and summer, and they are usually uttered only by the male. Songs serve to advertise the presence of the male, to attract a female, and/or to repel other males of the same species from the singer’s territory. Calls are included for some of the species on the record, because they are frequently heard and are fairly distinctive.
