One thing that has really improved my abilities as a bird watcher, and
also my enjoyment of this activity, is knowing the songs of many of
the birds occurring in the eastern U.S.  For this I have relied
primarily on the 2 record set put out I believe by the Audobon Society
and following the order of the Peterson guide for the eastern U.S. 

In fact I didn't trully appreciate how much I had come to rely on
songs as an identifaction tool until I travelled to Europe and tried
bird watching there.  Hence I would like to learn the songs of the
various European birds and was wondering if anyone could recommend
recordings and where these might be purchased.  Thanks in advance.
