See the old message below from Mark Martell about accessing Birds of North America online through the Minneapolis public library. My St. Paul library info works fine. Here's a more direct link to the Science and Technology part of the Minneapolis library's list of online databases:
http://www.mplib.org/databases.asp?subject=Science%20and%20Technology >From there, take the link to "Birds of North America Online," where you will have to log on with your library info (name, card number, and PIN). It's free.

If you go to their website http://www.mpls.lib.mn.us/ and follow research and online database links you can get to the info, however it appears you have to have a Mpls library card or belong to a library they have an agreement with. For those interested you can subscribe directly with Cornell for $40 per yr.
