The Birds of North America species accounts are now online. The cost is $40
for a one-year subscription. It appears that is the only option for now. In
addition to simply having the 18,000 pages from all 18 volumes covering 716
species in an online, searchable format, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology has
added video and sound recordings for each species. Additional photos are
available in some cases. Cornell states that the accounts will be updated
regularly, too.  It appears that changes in scientific names since
publication of an account are incorporated online (e.g., the printed
account for Tufted Titmouse has Parus bicolor, but the online version has
Baeolophus bicolor), but splits may not be (i.e., Black-crested Titmouse).

There are several species accounts available for trial viewing. Check it
out!
