  
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Thayer Birding Software
have joined forces to create the ultimate CD for birders. The
Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Guide to Birds of North America v3.9
features all 926 birds ever seen in the U.S. or Canada (excluding
Hawaii).
This incredible Mac-based CD-ROM includes 2,788 color photos and
songs for 708 species. 90 video clips are also included. This CD
can help you identify unfamiliar birds. Simply select the color,
size, habitat, location or sound of your bird and the program
will show you everything that matches your description!
Also included are 700 quizzes arranged into "Birding Hot
Spots", "Christmas Bird Counts", Favorite
Birds" and more. Set the level at Easy or crank it all the
way up to Difficult. Select Multiple Choice, Fill-in-the-blank,
Flash Card or "Pick One" quizzes. This CD also includes
a listing and recordkeeping program to help you remember the
birds you have seen.
With version 3.9, you can also share Custom Lists with your
friends, download songs and photos to an iPod for your own
personal use and add your own comments and photos for each bird.
New colorful icons make it very easy to use the CD.
