Indiana+Bird+Songs

My mother in law mentioned a class in which people are able to learn about birds and ornithology by listening to bird songs. I thought that this would be an excellent educational opportunity. I decided to not only show people what birds looked like in order to identify them, but also, to let them hear the different bird songs. Unfortunately I noticed that someone else mentioned identification of birds, but I believe this is different enough in order to stand on its own.

Indiana Bird Songs is a way for the general population to be able to identify birds by their song. I thought that with winter quickly approaching, it would be prudent to display birds that frequent in Indiana during this season. I include the bird's picture, it's song, and the locations I found the information. When including the audio instructions and bird song, I decided to use Audacity instead of the Power Point record sound option because I have more control over the effects and editing. The first power point is a template that can be changed as needed in order to incorporate as many birds as you like. The next gives examples of two birds that winter in Indiana. After looking into the checklists for Indiana, I noticed that rare birds were also mentioned. For avid ornithologists, I thought this would be very interesting. I also included two examples for this Power Point.
