* FOR PC - Guide to Birds of North America CD-ROM
This is version 3.9. It's the latest version of Thayer's Birds of North America CD-ROM, released July 31, 2007. Whenever minor updates become available, they're available to Version 3.9 owners from Thayer Birding Software and can be easily accessed directly through the software. Created in collaboration with the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, the CD-ROM includes over 900 birds of US and Canada.

Let's start with new features, that were not in version 3.5:

1. This new Version 3.9 is Vista compatible. It will also run on Windows XP and Windows 2000.
2. Downloads to an iPod with songs and photos.
3. 20 to 100 species have been added to each state and province CD.
4. Users can easily open multiple eField Guide tabs to see more than one species at a time.
5. Users can easily jump to the next species or the previous species — as well as the first or last species on the list.
6. State and province checklists have been updated. The ID Wizard will show more "common" birds for each location.
7. The taxonomic list has been updated to match the American Ornithologists' Union (AOU) 47th supplement. The Blue Grouse has been split into Dusky Grouse and Sooty Grouse.
8. The buttons and links in the program have been updated so that they all now behave like a typical Windows installation. The mouse scroll wheel now behaves as expected in all parts of the program.
9. It's now easier and more intuitive to use. The User's Manual has also been revised.
10. It's now much easier to see which filter you have turned on.
11. The underlying code has been rewritten in .NET rather than VB6. (That's tech talk for "New and Improved.")

The new version still has all the things birders loved about the previous version.

Includes over 900 birds of US and Canada. It contains 2,788 top-quality photos, 707 songs, 90 videos, and 926 range maps. Added feature: sonograms show you a picture of each song.

Identify unknown birds! Just enter a birds' colors, size, habitat, location, and even a description of its song if you can. The program will instantly show you photos and nmes of all the birds that match your description. Perfect for beginners!

You can add your own comments, photos and web links for each bird, and you can export songs to your iPod in minutes.

Extra Bonus: The Birder's Handbook. Learn about the birds you see with hundreds of short, interesting articles on every aspect of bird behavior and biology. It's a classic book, but here it's included right in the CD-ROM, so you can access the information instantly and have fun learning.
