Just thought you all might like to know that the Peterson Multimedia
Guide - North American Birds is in the sale bins at Staples.  I picked
it up tonight for $8.79 + tax.  As a comparison, ABA has it listed for
$64.95 (and please don't tell me I should have bought it at ABA).

I played with it a little tonight, and while I wouldn't call it an
outstanding disk, it does have some very nice photos (including one of a
Variegated Flycatcher, FWIW), and voice recordings for many/most
species.  It looks like it has some nice learning tools for beginners,
too (and no comments from the Paul O'Brien peanut gallery that perhaps I
should spend some time on that part of the disc).

Later.
