Birds of my Region version 3.9
Birds of My Region V3.9 is the newest CD-ROM from Thayer Birding Software and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. This CD lets YOU decide which state, province or region to install on your computer. You can try them all out and make your decision up to 30 days after you first install the program. You may select one state or one province or you may select one of the following regions:
New England (361 species)
Atlantic Coast (405 species)
Midwest (367 species)
South (417 species)
Great Plains (417 species)
Southwest (439 species)
Rockies (413 species)
Pacific Northwest (403 species)
Eastern Canada (352 species)
Western Canada (408 species)
This Windows CD-ROM includes color photos, songs for all species from the world-famous Cornell Lab of Ornithology, range maps, abundance maps, ID tips and more. The CD-ROM includes an ID Wizard to help you identify the birds, even if you do not know the bird’s name. Just enter colors, size, habitat and location. The ID Wizard will show you photos of all the birds that match your description. Petey the Parrot will pronounce each bird’s common and scientific name for you. Also included are over 300 quizzes, including Christmas Bird Count Quizzes. The CD-ROM lets you compare two birds side-by-side and shows you the similar species.
With version 3.9, you can:
• Share Custom Lists with your friends
• Download songs to an iPod for your own personal use
• Add your own comments and photos for each bird
• Identify birds by sound in the ID Wizard
• Use the new “Pick One” quiz—see four bird photos and pick the right one.
• And most important of all, The Birder’s Handbook is now included (a $20 value)
This CD-ROM can be upgraded to the #1-rated Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s Guide to Birds of North America version 3.9, featuring all 930 species. The Birds of My Area CD-ROM is a “subset” of the full Guide to Birds of North America v3, so you do not need both CD-ROMs.
These are the system requirements: Windows 2000, XP or Vista; Pentium 4 processor or equivalent; 512 MB RAM; CD-ROM drive; 1 Gig on hard drive; plus hardware and software required to support multimedia applications. Some features of this CD-ROM require an Internet connection.
