SORA Project for Bird Information

See, see, THIS is the kind of stuff that should be included in Google Print! Archives of six ornithological journals, three of them encompassing over one hundred years' worth of material -- argh argh argh. The SORA Project is available at http://elibrary.unm.edu/sora .

There are six journals here -- the Auk (1884-1999), The Condor (1899-2000), The Journal of Field Ornithology (1930-1999), The Wilson Bulletin (1889-1999), Pacific Coast Avifauna (1900-1974) and Studies in Avian Biology (1978-1999). All of those except the Journal of Field Ornithology are browsable; North American Bird Bander is denoted as "coming soon."

The collection is searchable by keyword, author, and title, and can be limited by a year range. A search of all issues for "ruby throated" hummingbird found 653 results. Results are listed by relevance and include relevance score, author, title of article, and abstract (abstracts can be very extensive.) Articles are available in PDF or DJVU formats. Very, very, very extensive.
