This site is best viewed with the more recent versions of the major browsers (and a new high resolution monitor of course, as the illustrations are stunning), but also should be compatible with older and less popular browsers -- won't look quite the same on WebTV or real old versions of IE -- won't be nearly as attractive, but will function - if this is not the case, please let the webmaster know the specifics.

Javascript is needed to fully appreciate the site. Otherwise all you see are static thumbnails. Enlargements are available of most of the graphics showing our Field Guides and Pocket Guides, and those rely on javascript. If you have disabled javascript for security concerns, you might want to ask your computer person about the differences between java and javascript.

The pages on this site are flexible - all but the home page and the site map will collapse down below 640x480 for the old 13" and the new smaller view screens, and will expand indefinitely, although we've only tried it out to 1280 - so, no scrolling back and forth to view a page and no wasted screal estate - this makes it so things may look a little different on a page depending on how it is viewed, so if you experience a problem, please at least guesstimate the size of your browser window at the time.

This site offers MP3 clips - a MP3 player probably came with your computer, but just in case, here are some places you can go to download free media players:

• musicmatch
• Quicktime
• Real Player
• Windows Media Player
