Are there any gif files in netland showing (preferably outdoor) birds? If so, could you please point me to their location? Thanks - John Bauer "I speak only for myself."

Thanks - I'd be interested in any additional information about this as well. On another group I read, someone posted a list of all the sites that have any gifs at all. I scanned through for sites with bird gifs and found two. One is aixpsb.rrz.uni-koeln.de I don't know the ip number for sure it may be 134,95.80.1 As you may be able to tell it is in denmark so connection and download is a bit slow, but by god it works. I'm assuming you know how to ftp in general so I wont go into that-- let me know if you need more help. The directory in question is pub/gif/animals and the files it has are parrot.gif which is a red and blue parrot with its wings flashing gulls.gif which is a head shot of two sea gulls What kind of birds, you might ask--sorry don't have my field guide and am not good enough to tell. The gulls, which I converted with Wingif to make bmp files to display as my background in Windows have a grey back, white head, yellow eyes, yellow bill--fairly think with a dark tip--the whole tip not just a spot..maybe a fourth of the length of the bill. The parrot? I don't know and my field guide wont cover it. By the way, these are photographs. At the same site in /pub/gif/art is a file called geese.gif which is japanese print. The other site I heard about is schizo.samsung.com which is nearer and faster but seems to be very busy ftp wise as I couldn't get in. In the directory pub/gif/0-9 are two files: bird.gif and birds.gif which I haven't been able to check out. Are you interested more in photos? drawings? And, if you don't mind saying--what do you want to do with them? Just curious. -- Jackie Burhans (burhans@usc.edu) Data Stylist, USC Student Affairs

In the >directory pub/gif/0-9 are two files: bird.gif and birds.gif >which I haven't been able to check out. Finally got in. The directory for the above files bird.gif and birds.gif is really pub/gif/b In fact they have directories a,b,c,...z as well as on called 0-9. Files are placed in these directories according to the first letter of the file name. Other files mentioned but not seen by me are: aves.pionus.Z I assume these may be birds the .Z extension means they aves_maxim.Z have to be "uncompress"ed before they are .gif files. crow.gif eagle.gif flamingo.gif roadrunn roadrunner.Z (probably the cartoon one) toucan.gif tweety.gif (almost definitely cartoon, but hey) gulls.gif same as one in denmark, a lot closer to get owl.gif parrot.gif same as one in denmark Bird is a hummingbird on a limb with its wings flashed. Dark head, rufous body, broad? bill. Birds is a shot of two parrots--red with blue wings. Resolution isn't good on either, hummer is better. -- Jackie Burhans (burhans@usc.edu) Data Stylist, USC Student Affairs
