Virtual birders can look at the birds found in back yards all around the
world at BirdYard (http://home.sol.no/~tibjonn/birdyard.htm).
And a host of rich sites can be found at the Ornithological Council’s Birdnet
(http://www.nmnh.si.edu/BIRDNET). Here you’ll find some encouraging news. For
example, the number of male warblers singing in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula is on
the increase. Even the military is getting in on the act. The US Army Corps of
Engineers is drawing up profiles of threatened species found on its land, so
their habitats can be protected (http://www.wes.army.mil/el/tes/). Back in
Europe, twitchers will find a chatty e-zine with international links and local
reports at InterBirdNet
(http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/town/square/gf09/index.html).
