Ditto what Mason says. I've had it for three or four years now and use it a
lot! The only feature it lacks that would make it even better is the
ability to compare species side-by-side, a la the Thayer software.

I highly recommend it. The site provides very detailed drill-downs into all
regularly occurring NA species. This includes detailed
descriptions/measurements etc., distribution, migration, habitat and food
habits, sounds, behavior, details on breeding, conservation etc.



The key is that it's not really about identification but rather the biology
of each species. You can see an example of a typical species account by
visiting the site http://bna.birds.cornell.edu/bna and clicking on the
examples in the right-hand column.

Hi,

I am looking at subscribing to this via Cornell, but wondered if anyone
else uses this resource, and just what it would have to offer?

Thanks for any help.
