Sure wish I could query a bird database by location and have it return all
the birds that I might see there - at a certain season. For example, what
might birds might I see in "Florida" in the "summer"?

I would load up the database with birds I have NOT yet seen, and presumably
the geographical location they are found for the various (4) seasons. I
suppose the geographical data would be one or more state names, although
this is admittedly imprecise.

A flat database (like Excel for example) does not seem to be able to do what
I want. Might MS Access work, or is there a better (i.e. simpler) way to do
something like this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
