Although not essential for atlassing, the ability to identify the birds in your region by their songs and calls (i.e., by ear) is a valuable asset. If you wish to learn the songs and calls of birds nesting in Québec, and elsewhere in North America, we recommend that you visit the “Dendroica” website that was launched in May 2010. The tools provided on the website will be useful for all, and it even allows you to test your ability to identify birds by ear.

Access to the “Dendroica” website is free; all you have to do is choose a user name and password.

The website is accessible via www.natureinstruct.org/dendroica
