This CD is identical to the Guide to
Birds of
North America. The only difference is that there are
fewer species and fewer quizzes. All other features are the same as
the full version. See other listing for the Guide to Birds of
North America.

641 Birds of
Canada!! Here are those hardy birds that are
commonly found in the ten Canadian Provinces and three Territories. In addition
to the far north species like Hoary Redpoll, Northern Hawk Owl and King Eider,
there are warblers, thrushes and others that head for the boreal forests to
nest. If you love the spring migration at Point Pelee, this is the CD for
you.
Thayer Birding Software and the Cornell
Lab of Ornithology have joined forces to create the ultimate CD-ROM for
birders. Thayer's Birds of Canada v3.9.8 features all 641 birds ever seen in
Canada.
This incredible CD-ROM includes over
1,000 color photos and songs for over 600 species. 90 video clips are also

color, size, habitat, location or sound of your bird and the program will show
you everything that matches your description!
Also included are hundreds of quizzes
arranged into "Birding Hot Spots", "Christmas Bird Counts",
Favorite Birds" and more. Set the level at Easy or crank it all the way up
to Difficult. Select Multiple Choice, Fill-in-the-blank, Flash Card or

recordkeeping program to help you remember the birds you have seen.

Why not purchase Guide to Birds of

Birds of
North America v3.9 also lets you study birds from one
family, such as Hawks or Warblers. See other listing for the Guide to Birds of
