Terrific Web site displays recent bird sightings for just about any US or Canada location or species: Birder's Dashboard
Note: Cell phone version is at Birder's Dashboard for mobile devices. Washington State version (allows searches by county) for desktop/laptop is at Birder's Dashboard (Washington State). Cell phone version for Washington State: Birder's Dashboard (Washington Sate - mobile). This is Randy Robinson's creation -- really helpful for birders.
Latest Accomplishment!
I've created an app that will give you a bird species checklist for any county in the United States. The checklist is of all species ever recorded in the county that have been reported to Cornell University Lab of Ornithology's wonderful eBird site, to which millions of sightings are reported every year. The checklist is alphabetized and paginated for printing out. You can find it at: Bird checklist for any U.S. county
A 2017 Accomplishment!
We've put A Birder's Guide to Washington 2nd Ed. online! Birders can now get and give current information online about birding spots all over the state! Please share your observations and experiences of birding spots mentioned in the book with other birders. And find out what's going on at a site you might want to bird!

Free software that I use on my desktop PC
and recommend:
- Google Chrome browser
I switched from the Firefox browser to the Google Chrome browser several years ago when Firefox got really slow. Chrome integrates well with other Google services such as Gmail, Keep, Photos, Docs, gDrive, etc. But Firefox has recently become a great browser again, providing speed and privacy, so it's a good choice too.
- Thunderbird e-mail client
- Libre Office (excellent word, spreadsheet, presentation, database)
Here's an article discussing the differences between Open Office and Libre Office
- Google Earth (truly amazing)
- Foxit Reader (small fast .pdf reader that lets you type onto .pdf documents)
- Grsync (backs up your files simply and safely and does not encase them in some weird format that you must "restore")
- Google Calendar (easy to keep all entries in one place online accessible from anywhere)
- GIMP (Gnu Image Processing software is a free Photoshop substitute)
My resume
