VIEWING TIPS
The MOV clips can be played on PC's or Macs by most versions of the QuickTime player.  These MOV clips are 2-6 MB and 640 x 480 pixels (high resolution).  Visit Apple Computer, Inc.  to obtain QuickTime 6 or 7. Use the left and right arrow keys to advance single frames - a QuickTime advantage.

The following clips are my first set of 2006 Bexar County (Texas) birds, posted only in QuickTime MOV format and listed without pictures. Don't link to these clips, because I will be reformatting this page and and its file paths as time permits. Malcolm Mark Swan ©2006 by ManyBirds
