A special thanks to Peggi, Walt, Hans, Gail and Cathi for their feedback =
on CD ROM Bird Guides. I have FINALLY made a selection! Whew! With =
only the Peterson and Audubon available to choose from and being =
horribly impatient, I decided on the Peterson and am very happy with my =
choice. However, I did check out the web site for Thayer's that you =
mentioned, Gail, and I am definitely interested in checking that one out =
when I get a chance. I suppose one can never have too many resources and =
it does sound like an impressive tool to have. By the way, for those =
Tweeters who live in the Gig Harbor area, Wild Birds Unlimited in Gig =
was most generous and helpful in letting me try out the programs before =
making my final selection. Jim (the owner) was not familiar with =
Thayer's but after I provided him with a print out of the info from the =
web site, he became quite interested in exploring it.

Again, thanks so much for all the help.
