Nature Sounds

The cassette publications of Birdsongs of Nepal and Birdsongs of the Himalayas, done in association with the Cornell Library of Natural Sounds (now the MacAuley Library) represented a significant step forward in the promotion of Asian bird identification at the time of their releases, and they still rank as two of the principal resources for birders and scientists acquainting themselves with some of the various bird sounds of the Himalayas.

The CD release is designed to provide a digital version of the productions for the Himalayas since there are now so many new technological advancements for bird sound recognition in home and field use. Mr Connop also added eight species that were not previously included on the cassette productions, bringing the total species to 99.
