This MP3-DVD contains 4196 recordings of 1270 species, covering 95% of all the landbirds of Venezuela. The disc has a total playing time of over 33 hours, with a total file size of 1.3 GB. It includes most of the vocalizations commonly heard while exploring Venezuelan nature (excluding pelagic seabirds, and vagrant bird species).

When preparing a birdtrip to Venezuela, the selection of birdsounds is a labour-intensive and time-consuming task. Now Peter Boesman has done this work for the birdwatcher visiting Venezuela. The sounds for this production were carefully selected, checked and integrated by him. Every recording includes embedded information such as English name, scientific name, date and time of recording, locality name with coordinates, recordist, and in some cases further remarks or comments about background species. This information can be consulted in standard software like Windows Media Player, iTunes and even on some MP3 players like the iPod series. Typically several soundfiles per species are included, e.g. to illustrate different types of vocalizations, to illustrate some degree of geographical variation or to document vocalizations from different corners of a bird's distribution.
