[EBB Sightings] Golden Eagle Hy 680 Sunol Valley

Richard -

I use Avisys and have been very happy with it but I believe it was more 
than $60 ($99?)  The interface of the program looks like Windows 3.1 but 
it's pretty easy to use once you learn how to navigate.  I usually enter 
the details for the first bird of the trip then "Fix" (lock) the date, 
location and comments so they carry over to the subsequent entries.  I 
also find it vastly faster to use band codes to navigate to the next 
species but that is a matter of preference.  Anyway, for just listing it 
takes less than 5 minutes to enter 30 birds or so, more if you customize 
the comments for each.  The program does not have pictures.  You're 
welcome to send me questions directly.  Good luck! - Mary
