New Trial: The Birds of North America

The Birds of North America (BNA) is a comprehensive reference covering the life histories of North American birds. The series provides detailed scientific information (18 volumes, 18,000 pages in total) for each of the 716 species of birds nesting in the USA and Canada. The print version of BNA was completed in 2002. Now as an online project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, BNA is poised to become a living resource. Account contents will be updated frequently. In addition, BNA Online will build image and video galleries showing behaviors, habitat, nests, eggs and nestlings, and more. And each online species account will contain recordings of that bird's songs and calls, selected from the extensive collection in Cornell's Macaulay Library of Natural Sounds. Trial lasts February 9, 2007 to May 15, 2007. Please send feedback to Erin Rushton (erushton @ binghamton.edu).
