Welcome!

The BNOnline is a personal, experimental, non-commercial website that aims to provide a complete reference to all data on the Internet pertaining to any bird species. It contains links to material on other websites using the same philosopy that search engines employ in retrieving images and other data from the web, i.e. if it can be linked to, the link will be displayed with an appropriate attribution consisting of a direct link to the original page.

The differences between the results available on this website and those using a search engine are:

• only material that directly applies to the subject species is linked to
• results from various websites with high quality material that are not accessible by search engines are included
• the results are limited to the highest quality material available including up to 6 pictures, 6 vocalizations, and one or more videos
• plus species distribution maps, data points of recent observations
• and a brief account of the species status and habitat.
• All this material: images, videos, maps, vocalizations, etc. is brought together on a single concise web page.
