In
two centuries of American ornithology, The Birds of North
America (BNA) is only the fourth comprehensive reference
covering the life histories of North American birds. Following
in the footsteps of Wilson, Audubon, and Bent, BNA makes a
quantum leap in information beyond what these historic figures
were able to provide. Edited by Drs. Alan Poole and Frank
Gill, this series provides detailed scientific information (18
volumes, 18,000 pages in total) for each of the 716 species of
birds nesting in the USA and Canada. The print version of BNA
was completed in 2002, a joint 10 year project of the American
Ornithologists' Union, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the
Academy of Natural Sciences.
Now as an online project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology,
BNA is poised to become a living resource. Account contents
will be updated frequently, with online-coordinated
contributions from researchers, citizen scientists, and
designated reviewers and editors. In addition, BNA Online will
build image and video galleries showing behaviors, habitat,
nests, eggs and nestlings, and more. And each online species
account will contain recordings of that bird's songs and
calls, selected from the extensive collection in Cornell's
Macaulay Library of Natural Sounds.
