Ease of data entry is a major reason for my purchasing this software. Since I had more than 50,000 past records to enter, this was a major consideration for me. My major complaint is that it is not as number oriented as I would wish. It does accept numbers of birds, and can do tables with numbers. But if you wish a report to list the species seen by date, location, etc., it does not list the numbers seen. It will list the records themselves, which include the numbers. I have not used BirdBase or any other listing software, so cannot make a comparison. However, with the exception stated above, Avisys has proved very useful. I would be interested in hearing other opinions myself.
