You can use Custom Lists in several ways:
Take a Quiz . First, click a Custom List name on the left, and then click “Take Quiz” in the tool bar.
Make a Screen Saver. First, click a Custom List name on the left, and then, in Windows, click File and select Save as Screen Saver... In Mac just click the Screen Saver icon. At installation the screensaver uses the Colorful Birds list. Each time you save a list as a Screen Saver it replaces the list being used. You can return to Custom Lists and change the list being used as often as you like.
Use normal Windows methods to apply the Thayer Birding screensaver (Control Panel/Display or right-click on desktop, and then click Properties).
Export songs to an iPod. See iPod Instructions for step-by-step help in making bird songs appear on your iPod or mp3 player.
Print and export. You can use any Custom List as a checklist. First, click a Custom List name on the left, and then click File. From here you can Print or Copy to Clipboard.
View a Photo Gallery. First, click a Custom List name on the left, and then click Photo Gallery. The Photo Gallery may take a while to appear if you have a lot of birds on the Custom List. With the action words under each picture, (zoom І Field Guide І sound), you can zoom the picture, or select one of them to view in the Field Guide View, or play its sound. You may also select Image Type – Primary or Secondary.
Filter to see only birds in a Custom List. Click View in the tool bar and then click Filters… and then click Custom List. Scroll down the list and click on the custom list you want. Click OK. Now when you return to the Field Guide view, you will see only birds that appear in the custom list you selected. This is a great study tool.
