For the Bird Watcher

We can confirm that you will sound like a partridge and a turtledove with these elegant birdcalls - $75 for the set at uncommongoods.com - but we can't guarantee the real deal will show up. Delve deeper into the subject with Bird Songs, $45 at chroniclebooks.com. The illustrated hardcover has a built-in audio player that holds 250 recordings of real chirps and trills.
