National Geographic has a reputation for offering high quality innovative products for nature lovers; with National Geographic Handheld Birds, they’ve done it again. The birder who has one of these can go out for a day of North American birding with a personal digital assistant (PDA) containing a searchable electronic database.
The database includes more than 1600 pictures of birds and hundreds of species range maps. Based on the National Geographic Field Guide to Birds of North America, the content provides excellent information on birds and has unique features for easy species identification, including recorded bird calls. It is also designed to coordinate with eBird, the citizen scientist bird database created by Audubon and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
You can purchase National Geographic Handheld Birds as a software card, provided you own a compatible PDA, or as a PDA with the software already installed. If you’re interested, visit the National Geographic Online Store, and if you buy one, please let us know what you think of it by posting to the discussion area.
