    Detail from the cover of Donald Kroodsma's The Singing Life of Birds.

    Fresh Air from WHYY, March 29, 2005 · Donald Kroodsma is a renowned 
specialist in the interpretation of bird songs. His new book, The Singing Life 
of Birds: The Art and Science of Listening to Birdsong, describes how birds 
communicate and why. But Kroodsma is also the subject of another book -- about 
those who listen to birds.
    Birdsong, by Don Stap, details the work and passions of people who analyze 
the sounds of birds. Stap followed Kroodsma from the lab into the field to 
write his account of the researcher at work.
