The Tapes/booklet are part of the Peterson Field Guide series. The
East and West versions are "Birding by Ear" by Richard Walton and W.Lawson.
(the East coast version has a green cover and the west coast is blue).
Both consist of 3 tapes and a booklet. The first tape side is an
introduction and the last tape's side is a quiz. The rest are bird
songs with excellent descriptions of how to distinquish and remember
them.
In the past month, Walton put out another tape/booklet for the
Peterson series called "Backyard birding" (or similar). Its number 43
if your counting. Its a smaller package then the other two with less
tapes and half the price. (its a red cover).
You should be able to find any of them in the nature secton of
any bookstore.
The publisher is Houghton-Mifflin.
