BirdTunes provides bird enthusiasts with rapid, uncluttered access to a comprehensive collection of North American bird songs and calls.

The BirdTunes sound collection offers:

• Encyclopedic coverage, including over 2400 tracks for 674 species—over 10 hours of high fidelity sound.

• Emphasis on the sound repertoire of each species—including not just the primary song or call for many species, but also lesser-known songs and calls.

• Recordings drawn from the collections of prominent field recordists including Lang Elliott, Kevin Colver, Martyn Stewart, Bob McGuire, Ted Mack, and Wil Hershberger.

The BirdTunes application also offers:

• An attractive waveform display that shows progress as the current track plays.

• Four playback modes, including modes for playing or repeating either a single track or all of the tracks for a species.

• A gorgeous photo of each species, from the collections of well-known bird photographers including Brian Small, Lang Elliott, Mike Danzenbaker, and Marie Read.

• A search facility that lets you rapidly find a species by any part or parts of its name.

• A customizable list of favorite species for quick access.

• A list of the twenty most recently accessed species.
