I do not have AviSys, but have just received a copy of BDiary from Thayer. We were biased in favor of the BDiary because of its willingness to offer conversion programs. Needless to say, many of us are not up to keying in years of individual sightings. I experimented with the program by entering only my ABA life birds, and have found a way to use the program for creating State hit lists for our trips. Support from Thayer has thus far been superb. Are there other programs in use out there. Would be interested in hearing about everyone's experiences in using them. -------------------------------- Fran Saunders Maryland Ornithological Society State Web Site Director saunderf@ari.net http://www2.ari.net/saunderf/mos/mos.html
