Studies of endemic Cuban birds offer a rich field, not only
of vocalizations, but also of little known life histories for many of
the species. This two CD set contains songs, calls, and other sounds of
resident migratory birds endemic to the Republic of Cuba, including the
principal Island of Cuba, the Isle of Youth, and more than 1,6000 keys
and islets of the Cuban Archipelago. Areas visited consist of all the
main habitats of the Cuban Archipelago: lakeshores, swamps, plains,
woodlands, and elevations from sea level to some of the higher
mountains of eastern Cuba.
In addition to the recordings from Cuba, the production
includes several other recordings for study comparison between related
species such as the Chuck-will's-widow (Caprimulgus carolinensis)
and the Greater Antillean Nightjar (Caprimulgus cubanensis). Birds
Songs in Cuba also contains recordings of supplementary sequences
from outside Cuba, including the Short-eared Owl (Asio flammeus)
from the Dominican Republic, the Bee Hummingbird ( Mellisuga helenae),
and the Northern Mockingbird ( Mimus polyglottos).
