Birds of My Region lets you choose which subset of Birds of North America you want to run on your computer.  You can register any state or region.  We recommend that birders in Florida, California and Texas go with the $29.95 state program (they are not included in any of the regions). Birders from smaller states have the option of loading a region, Birds of the Northwest, Southeast etc; or any  state/province.  This is a 'subset' of Guide to Birds of North America, and can be upgraded to the full Birds of North America.

From the Thayer Birding Software newsletter:

Attention Vista Users
version 3.9 is Vista Compatible

Microsoft's new Vista operating system is not compatible with most software created before January, 2007. As a result of these extreme changes, we (Thayer Birding Software) have had to rewrite our birding software from the ground up. Thayer Birding Software's v3.9 is Vista compatible.

New - Download photos to iPod
New features in v3.9 include the ability to download songs and images to an iPod/MP3 player. State checklists have been updated. You can now open multiple field guide pages for easy comparison. You can quickly navigate to the next or previous species to view similar birds. Additional birds have been added to many state and province CDs.  See the help section for instructions on how to load the files into an MP3 player, using iTunes.
