Birding data base (1 Viewer)

I have used AviSys for years but it is now not being updated regularly so am considering changing. Have you used Birders Diary? If so how do you like it? Any other options you would recommend.

I've used BD for years and can heartily recommend it. It has dozens of useful features, an excellent UI and first-rate tech support.

For other alternatives, see these recent discussions:

I have been a Birder's Diary user for 16 years back when it was part of Thayer Birding Software. It is the most capable of the listing software programs. Jeff's (the developer) tech support is excellent! I am sure you could be up and running in no time with BD. I was disappointed the recent 4.0 update did not include a modern UI face lift. The UI is showing its age. I am playing around with other listing software programs but just cannot find the "perfect program". Yes, I know, perfection in anything does not exist, just a mirage on the ever changing horizon. I believe that is where I will find my final lifer the elusive Phoenix.

Check out Scythebill (http://blog.scythebill.com). Up to date taxonomy, great features and support.

... and Scythebill can easily import decades of Avisys data. It's free too, so nothing to lose (but one's precious time, of course). http://www.scythebill.com
