Sibley Guide to Birds
I finally bought a copy of Sibley's bird book. I've been happy with the National Geographic book, but like to have several references.

program, because the people who are using it have all been trained on
what to do. If doing X makes the application crash, that's okay—they can just be taught not to do X any more."
