Thayer Birding Software just released a free update for those of you that have version 7. You can get version 7.0.2 by opening your version 7 Birds of North America, clicking Help and then clicking Check for Updates.

Version 7.0.2 fixes a few bird songs that were mixed up and corrects about 30 minor spelling mistakes.

If you do not have your version 7 yet you can use the discount code LOYAL7 to save $5.00 if you owned a previous version. You pay just $44.95 for the Downloadable version or $58.95 for a copy loaded on an 8GB USB flash drive.

This amazing software features 985 species and includes 6,500 color photos, 1,500 sounds, 550 videos and 700 quizzes.

In addition, you can easily Filter to see just the birds from one state or province - or even one family. And the program even lets you import your own photos or photos from the internet. Now you can make quizzes on butterflies, wildflowers, birds of Costa Rica or anything!

We continue to release new Video Tutorials showing how to use the features in version 7. This week's additions are:
