This review is from: Calls of Ducks & Geese, The (Paperback)

I have several of Lang Elliot's nature books. I like this one the least. Perhaps it is just because Ducks and Geese just don't sound as nice to me as frogs and insects. It is a little hard for me to distinguish between the different birds on this CD, and so a bit more frustrating, and not as interesting to try to pursue. I can't fault his scholarship, or photography on this: they are fantastic. I guess I just lost interest in the subject matter.
