Okay, so we get a little out of sync with Windows and Mac releases. We try our best, but one version usually comes out before the other. Sometimes it is Mac; other times it is Windows. Imagine ducks frantically paddling their feet while gliding across the surface, and you'll have a fairly accurate vision of activity in the birdJam Studio!

Your #1 request has been for additional bird song collections. We are delighted to announce that birdJam has been updated so that it can support multiple new bird song collections! And, birdJam modules for new collections are extremely reasonably priced!

birdJam now supports—on Windows—the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's "Bird Songs of Southeastern Arizona and Sonora, Mexico" by Geoffrey A. Keller.

Because you already own birdJam (East, West or both), birdJam Maker for Southwest Birds is only $19.99. You'll also need the "Bird Songs of Southeastern Arizona and Sonora, Mexico" which can be purchased for $29.95 at the birdJam online Store. This two-CD set is a comprehensive collection of outstanding recordings that includes extended song sequences for specialty birds and songs of rare vagrants of this exceptional region. The Mac version will be along shortly.

Other bird song collections for international locations such as Costa Rica, Ecuador and many other locations/regions, and in-depth family collections for warblers, owls and others, will become available regularly.

If you're interested in birdJam for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch, please download the latest Windows and Mac versions. You'll need your email address and birdJam Maker serial number. The birdJam photos by renowned birdJam photographers Brian Small and Robert Royse are especially beautiful on these new large-screen iPods. You can also order birdJam bird songs pre-loaded on the iPod Touch from our web site. Apple iPhones are available only through Apple and AT&T.

Don't forget that if you purchased the birdJam Common Bird Photos prior to November 2007, then you can download more birdJam photos FREE OF CHARGE. By Spring 2008, we hope to have all 650 Eastern and Western bird photos available for download. Whatever version you have, if you purchased the photos, don't miss out on downloading additional photos for FREE.

If your contact information—especially email, etc.—has changed, be sure to go to www.birdjam.com, click on our Online Store, and go to My Account to update your information. You don't want to miss out on the latest from birdJam.

Apple released new iPods in September, so we've put together a new Ultimate birdJam Bundle that incorporates the new 4GB iPod and iMainGo speaker. Although you may be set with your current birdJam iPod and speaker, we wanted to make sure you were aware of the latest!

If you have any questions or comments, please contact us via our contact us page. And, please plan to participate in our annual birdJammers Survey that will be distributed in February 2008. Your input is vital to the future of birdJam.

Of course, you can always call us at 1-800-403-5524. If we don't hear from you, have a wonderful holiday season. We're already looking forward to the Space Coast Birding Festival in Florida in January and Spring Migration 2008!

With best wishes and many thanks,

Denese, Jay and Charlie
