I
just got back from my birding trip to Australia, which
was great. Thank you very much for helping me out with
books and tapes. I think Morcombe's field guide is the
very best for any location. It is fantastic.The relative
abundance feature on the maps is a great feature to have.
This gives you an idea of the best places to try to find
those tough birds.
Thanks
again for the help,
