If you are interested in participating in the creation of the first online
multi-media bird reference, read-on.

Recently I have come into a bit of hardware, some disk, and reliable network
access that I am using to fulfill a desire of mine. That is to create a
*complete* online reference to North American birds and birding. This is to be
more than simply an archive of photos or newsletters; it is to be the first
online multimedia bird reference, complete with hypermedia links to the latest
information. I currently have the server in place and now I am looking for
volunteers to provide the following:

Species acccounts, similar to those in field guides or
bird encyclopedias, but no limit on space. You can and
should be as complete as possible.

Life histories, similar to those in Bent.

Contributed papers relevent to birds or birding that can be
stored online and accessed by anyone. These can include graphics.

Photos and artwork, especially those pertaining to identification.

Audio recordings

Range maps down to a level of state detail. Maybe finer.

I would love to provide online access to institutions that have collections
of the aforementioned items as well, so if you have contacts at any of these
institutions, I'd love to hear from you.

If you are interested in reviewing text, audio, or art for accuracy and
content, I would be happy to hear from you. Good qualifications are a
must here, as I want to make the information provided as accurate as
possible.

If you have suggestions for other information to provide, I'd be interested in
hearing them.

If you are aware of any others that would be interested, even if they don't
yet have net access, please pass this on to them
