i like allaboutbirds bc of their sounds.

If you want vocalizations, check out the Macaulay Library.

[paleonaps]

What is that exactly?

[purplepeopleeater]

well they have a whole line of stuff that they sell at nature centers, but here is the amazon link

http://www.amazon.com/iflyer-IW01-I-Fly ... B000VZI5HY --- this one is only $87 i payed a lot more for mine. but its fun.

and if you google it, you may find reviews on it...

I have a thing called the identiflyer, which has cards that you slide in and buttons that correspond to birds.
The best course of action in my opinion is downloading the calls and putting them on your personal MP3 player (Sorry, not endorsing Apple today).

If anyone is familiar with the book National Geographic Complete Birds of North America, would this be acceptable for a competition? It's not a field guide but it's not that large...

[paleonaps]

Any published book is allowed.

yeah, have that as well... and they tend to use those alot at invites

and as for books.... YAY! kinda makes life a WHOLE lot easier.

The sound quality on them sucks though.

we had a proctor at cyfalls this year that takes all of his own pictures it was REALLY cool!
