Brief description:
Stanislas Wroza runs France's National Biodiversity Observatory, and is a member of the French Avifauna Commission and the editorial board of the journal Ornithos. During a stay in the United States, he discovered the potential of acoustic tools in ornithology, and subsequently founded the soundbirding.org project - an acoustic exploration of wildlife. Since then, he has focused on the search for new sounds - it is amazing how much there remains to be discovered.
In 2019, Stanislas's first book Birds by Sound was published, the first practical work to allow the reader to master the recording of bird songs and calls.Review Quotes:
"A trailblazing publication that every birder should look to get their hands on." --BirdGuides
"An essential book for anyone interested in bird vocalisations and finding their own birds. Hopefully it will inspire more birders to take sound-recording equipment in to the field." --British Birds "This is an impressive and authoritative book and one I would recommend to anyone interested in upping their game when birding." --Ibis
