Carol,
I came across this software the other
day.http://homepage.mac.com/wings_4d/
The spiel says:
Wings is a relational database that manages bird records. Actually, it
can manage pretty much most kinds of biological record keeping - it was
simply designed with birds in mind. So what can Wings do? It can do the
usual things:
Store sightings data and the supporting taxonomic, location, observer
and source data
Perform data entry one record at a time
Manage millions of records
Search and sort
Manage multiple checklists
Import and export
Create columnar reports.
Wings can also do a few amazing things:
Allow very rapid data entry using checklists
Create spreadsheet reports
Create reports in the form of checklists
Create charts and occurrence charts
Allow you to create your own categories of data and associate that data
with species, locations or sightings
Save selections of records that can be loaded very quickly in later
sessions
Has built-in spreadsheet, charting, drawing and statistics modules
Regards
Alastair

Hi all,
Does anyone have recommendations for a bird database programme which can
be
used with a fairly old Mac computer, with either OS 8.1 or 9?
Alternatively, does anyone have experience with using Filemaker Pro for
bird records? I have been trying to customise my very old version of
Filemaker as a database to store all my bird records but it doesn't seem
to
have enough capacity to include the complete list of Australian species
as
either separate fields or a pop-up menu. I'm thinking I might have to
save
my pennies and buy a new version if that would be suitable, so any
advice
would be appreciated. As I'm completely self-taught with computer stuff,
it
might just be that I'm trying to do things the wrong way. Thanks for any
advice.
Cheers
Carol
