  • WATERBIRDS of OHIO C D Guidebook
    WATERBIRDS OF OHIO c d g u i d e b o o k DIVISION OF WILDLIFE Waterbirds of Ohio Introduction This CD contains 138 species of birds that occur in Ohio’s wetlands. Many of these sounds were recorded in Ohio, and each species includes songs and calls that are typically heard. Habitat can be a clue to a bird’s identity, and many birders also use mnemonics – memory devices – to help learn and remember songs. Refer to the text in the booklet that accompanies this CD for helpful information regarding habitats, and tips that might aid in learning these sounds, as well as good places to look for them. Unlike songbirds, which are in the order Passeriformes and are renowned for their singing, most of the birds on this CD are non- passerines. For many birders, using vocalizations to identify these species is not nearly as important as for the songbirds, and for the most part, this group of birds do not “sing,” at least in the way that an American robin or hooded warbler does. However, as you will see, many of the birds included here make a fascinating array of sounds. We may not hear all of them as they migrate through Ohio, as they generally vocalize only on their nesting grounds; some species herein don’t breed here. Also, some species included are rare. Nevertheless, it is educational to be aware of their calls, and this knowledge adds to one’s appreciation of the species. Also, some of these are marsh birds, and far more likely to be heard than seen, so knowing their sounds will help birders find them.
