Port of Spain, 19 Dec. 2006 --- Copies of the recently released CD, Discovering the Birds of Trinidad and Tobago were donated to the Trinidad and Tobago Heritage Library by its author and publisher, Mr. Brian Ramsey.

This CD contains information on 332 species of birds found in Trinidad and Tobago accompanied by over 820 colour photographs. The CD also contains information and photographs of various tropical plants and animals. A key benefit of the CD is the search engine that allows the user to select any aspect of a bird, such as the colour, habitat, location or any other aspect and find everything on the CD that matches the search term.

The Trinidad and Tobago Heritage Library is a Division of the National Library and Information System Authority (NALIS). Its main role is to acquire, preserve and promote information in all formats, on or about Trinidad and Tobago. In addition, the Division houses the Legal Deposit Publications and acts as a national depository and resource for materials published in Trinidad and Tobago.

The CD is the result of several years of research by the author, Mr. Brian Ramsey. It is intended to benefit the casual birdwatcher along with the dedicated environmentalist plus tourists, students, teachers and anyone with an interest in the bird life of Trinidad and Tobago.
