birdPod

You heard me right: birdPod. If you're a bird watcher, and perhaps more importantly, a bird listener, you'll be interested in grabbing this little set of iPod browse-able bird calls for your field observations: "BirdPod is an iPod loaded with bird songsand lots more. Unlike a typical bird song CD set, birdPod's bird songs are organized to enable quick identification of bird songs in the field. We think birdPod is the best tool yet for learning bird songs. And, it's fun!"

Fun, but it ain't cheap. You can either buy a full iPod with all the birdPod stuff preloaded on it, or you can download the software and the CDs for $98.95. That's a bit beyond my bird interest. I own an Eclectus parrot and I think he's the last bit of bird goodness that I'm spending more than $50 on for quite some time.
