	 If you're looking for a Bird Guide book that
	 includes information about bird SONGS, see:

   [*]	 "A Guide to Field Identification
	  BIRDS of North America"
	  by Chandler S. Robbins,  Bertel Bruun, and Herbert S. Zim.
	  Illustrated by Arthur Singer
	  (Golden Press; New York; 1966)

	  From page 10, item 8:

	  "Besides verbal descriptions of songs and their normal
	   frequency per minute, songs or calls of many species
	   are pictured by Sonagrams (see pp. 10 - 11).
	   This is a new scientific technique that gives a true
	   "picture" of a song.  Study the Sonagram while the
	   bird is singing, or while you listen to a recording.
	   You should soon be able to recall typical songs.
	   Remember that a Sonagram pictures only a single
	   characteristic song.  Many birds have several songs,
	   but these often have many basic similarities."

	   Cornell University's
	   Laboratory of Ornithology
	   is a hotbed of bird song research.

  [***]  Was the Skylark the inspiration for the song written by
	 songwriter HOAGY CARMICHAEL entitled "Skylark"
	 (1941 WB Music Corp./Frank Music Corp.) ?

	 Nice rendition of Skylark by Linda Ronstadt on:
	 'ROUND MIDNIGHT with Nelson Riddle & his Orchestra
