The Birders Network
"Look up, but then look out - it's contagious" seems an apt theme for
birders, people who compulsively look for and identify birds. Birders
themselves consider their hobby something of an addiction, and it's a habit
to be fed at The Birders Network.
With high-quality original materials about wild birds, birding, bird
watching and birders, the site offers sophisticated online field guides
with text, photos, animated sonograms, interactive maps and photo indexes,
often integrated with virtual tours of specific birding locales. Simulated
birding tours, photo galleries and rare bird alerts make this the perfect
nesting spot for birders before they stalk the fields.
