I absouloutley love this page!! Kudos to whoever made it.

To italisize, click on the I by the Bold botton and replace the text in side with whatever you want itaisized. costarica32 12:25, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Great page, it would even be more delightful if it were possible to download it along with the next level pages down that have the details on each bird so you could carry a catalog of same on a mobile device. (I will need to check the birding project page out as well) -- related to this, having a different index associated with maps (what are you likely to see in this area), and of course other characteristics as a different index (size, color, markings, etc.) ... an ideal use for hypertext.
