-----Itoo have purchased and installed the Thayers Birds of No. America
and Birders Diary. although I am just beginning to get acquainted with
Birds of No. Am., I find the sounds, colors, information, and the
general layout and ease of using the program just excellent. The bird
sounds are of excellent quality. I haven't seen the other birding CD's,
but I am very much impressed with Thayers, and highly recommend the CDs.

( 256 color in not really adequate......looks faded and not really sharp
and clear).
