Very useful February 24, 2008

When I first became interested in identifying the birds around my property, I knew little more than robins, cardinals and blue jays. I was initially inspired by some unknown cheerful soul singing me awake each morning. I purchased two well respected bird sounds books with CDs but each was limited to only a few species. I trolled the Internet, but found that tedious. My third attempt to identify my morning friend was this software and I've never looked back. Everything I need is right here--songs, multiple pictures, descriptions, even videos for some. There are many, many birds included. They can be searched in either alphabetical order or by species type. If you find one that might be a hit, but you're not sure, you can display similar birds in several different formats. You can make various custom lists which can be displayed with picture and sound for you to pick and choose which to read full detail about. That's only a fraction of what's available in the software package. While I still occasionally listen to the original CDs which include many different calls for each bird, this is where I find them to begin with and then return to time and time again. I now know over 50 types and enjoy hearing their familiar calls. The software itself is easy to install and use without problems. You can't go wrong with this package to build your bird knowledge.
