Looking for website link

[miriam1969]

hi all ....

last year Napper posted a link to a birding website - when the page loaded, it loaded images of all the birds of north america, & clicking on an image would open another page where you'd find info re description, migration range, & bird song ....
i've been looking for that link & can't find it ... i'm quite sure the page was titled 'bird songs of north america' but can't find it anywhere ....
does anyone know the page/have the link? napper?

thanks for your help

Hi Miriam www.enature.com go to the bird guide part. Our buddies are in same place at MPC,mite see U there.

thanks for all the help guys! ..... the cornell site looks somewhat like the site i'm thinking of, but not quite the same ..... could be that they've revamped the site .....

(& i've narrowed down the bird i'm trying to identify (that i saw) as either a blue grouse or a ring-necked pheasant ....)

they've all been helpful ... thanks so much!!!

it is really slow and links you to the National Geographic site.. use the link below

If yu enter the main web page it asks you to pay for each sound byte..:shock:

The blue grouse is a western species that as far as I know haven't been found in Ontario, which makes it an unlikely candidate.

yay napper!!!!! that's the site! thanks so much!!

& thx thomas too .... guess that narrows it down to the ring-necked pheasant (though i can't remember if the tail being that long - but i only had a very quick glimpse of the bird)

Hi Miriam

A quick look at a female Pheasant could easily be mistaken for a grouse. We all get those quick glimpses of birds and can't pin the bird down to species. Good birding, Bruce

The naturesound.org site listed by Napper links to Whatbird, which looks like a pretty decent on line guide.  
Their species search page is at: http://identify.whatbird.com/mwg/_/0/attrs.aspx
