Great online guide!

Most of you probably already know about this, but for anyone who doesn't, I just stumbled across the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's online bird guide and it's pretty good. Not a bad option when you're away from your field guide, have just spotted something over your lunch break, and need an online source to aid in identification.

1. I bookmarked it for future reference.

I love my bird links.

2. the sounds can be very useful

I have some CDs of birdsong but my CD/DVD player is such a pain to call up a specific song that it's easier to go the Cornell site and look up the audio for the bird.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.

3. Thanks, I hadn't been to the Cornell site in ages.

The sounds will be very helpful, I think. (I have tapes but they're a pain to search.)

6. Oh cool!

I like that they include mammals and wildflowers and so many other field guides in once place. Thanks for the tip!
