If any of you have read _Parrot Without a Name_, an account of the discovery
of a new species in Peru, you may remember that it was also written by Don
Stap.

Terri Gross interviews two experts on bird songs.  The interviews feature
extraordinary recordings of bird songs, plus commentaries from Ms Gross and

bird songs, and author of The Singing Life of Birds: the art and science of
listening to bird song [complete with CD of bird songs]. He describes how
birds communicate and why.

Kroodsma and others in the lab and in the field.
