Experienced birders identify far more birds by sound than by sight. Listening to recordings of known birds is an excellent way to improve your identification skills.

To avoid copyright issues we neither copy nor alter these audio recordings. We simply collect in one convenient location links to Macaulay Library web pages containing our choice of the best freely available recordings for each species.

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology Macaulay Library is the most extensive library of animal sounds available. Below are links to recordings of as many of Arkansas’ birds as are available.
