"Birder's Diary" is a full fledged :) listing program. I'v= e used it for several years, and find it very easy to use and loaded with= options. It will keep lists for multiple users, produce reports by areas= , and let the user define areas and tie those to states, regions, etc. Al= so, Thayer provides regular updates to correct any glitches that are disc= overed, and provides new versions at discount prices to current users. I'= ve been delighted with both pieces of software.

More for educational purposes than anything else. The quiz= zes in it are great for testing yourself.
