Dear Everybody,

I wonder if there exists a downloadable computer programme or CD-ROM
for the systematization / determination (I do not really know the exact
term) of birds.
In fact my children are fairly interested in observing birds, so you see ..

Thanks for some advice.

Dear somebody

Look on this site,http://www.library.uiuc.edu/bix/fieldguides/birds2.htm

I would prefer a good fieldguide.

This is one title: Cramp´s: The Complete Birds of the Western
Palearctic. On CD-rom from Oxford University Press 1998.
