Eastern and Central North America. A guide to listening. has songs in it.
Definitive, but not very readable. I prefer the older musical notation of Schuyler Matthews' Wild Birds and their Music. I have used oscilloscopes in premed physics; I have graphed impedance and various sine/cosine wave electrical functions, so I understand their use in sonographs. But I don't think they represent the bird sound effectively. Scientifically correct, they are a bit like wave function suggestions of astronomical bodies, rather than photographs.

It also includes one page of habitat, description, and fun features for each bird included.
The book runs on batteries.
It would be welcome to color code those birds which stay around in winter or to make a book
which includes just those winter birds across the U.S.
