Wing your way from New York City to Chicago to Guatemala with this collection from National Public Radio. Listeners will hear bird-related news stories and essays—and the birds themselves: cardinals, red-winged blackbirds, purple martins, bare-throated tiger herons, and more. Host Jon Hamilton’s introductions make each story feel connected to the next, and all are presented warmly and professionally by the various reporters and commentators. Field-recorded soundscapes including birdcalls and nature sounds add welcome atmosphere to many of the pieces. The bite-sized stories are the perfect way to get a little birdsong into your day, even if you’re stuck on the highway or in the concrete jungle. J.M.D. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
