This lighthearted book is about enjoying music and why, when and how birds sing, migrate, make love and have the earliest music skills. It is a story of our fellow creatures such as the Yellow-rumped Warbler and the Snowbird found in the woodlands, wetlands and backyards of Nevada. This little volume, enhanced by cartoons will inform and amuse the naturalist and music lover.
