Works really well with good, close-up photos, so great for digiscoping with your smartphone. This is the app that people always ask about when it comes to birding apps: it allows you to make a second recording of a bird singing, then attempts to identify the species based on the audio recording.
Not incredibly accurate and getting a good recording with smartphone microphones can be difficult, but a very promising idea. Many people enjoy participating in citizen science programs like the Christmas and Great Backyard Bird Counts as part of their birding. These apps provide an opportunity to share your bird data with researchers and other birders directly from the field, making your birding more valuable to conservation and helping you track your observations over time.
Well-designed app that allows you to submit to eBird eBird. You can select your location using GPS, automatically download checklists for your area, and submit checklists directly from the field.
Great for new birders participating in the Great Backyard Bird Count birdcount. Based on these observations Audubon scientists hope to be able to make recommendations as to how to help hummingbirds survive the effects of climate change.
As the name implies these apps help you locate specific species of birds in the field, based on either reports to citizen science programs like eBird, or through the aggregation of decades of local knowledge. This is a great tool for finding new and interesting birds at home or in a new location based on real-time citizen science data.
You can immediately start viewing reports of nearby birds, but the real power comes after you sign into your eBird account and can view nearby birds that are missing from your life or year lists for a specific location.
Filters allow you to adjust for the timeframe and distance of reports shown, and the app includes an abbreviated species guide with links to Flickr and Wikipedia pages for more photos and information. Based on copious amounts of local knowledge instead of real-time data, this app features information on birding hotspots within Washington state. The app features details on each location, such as: the best time of year to go birding at each site, where to park, what trails to take, and what birds you can expect to see.
It also includes information on fees, handicap accessibility, parking, and nearby amenities. Great for planning a birding trip in advance, as well as finding birds and other nearby birding spots in the field. These apps are designed specifically to help you learn bird songs and calls and can be helpful for even the most tone-deaf of birders.
Features over high-quality recordings of songs and calls of North American birds. There are several ways to experience them, including listen and slideshow modes and an interactive quiz. You can select specific species to practice identifying or select from more than a dozen different regions to focus on the most common species you are most likely to hear near you.
Includes songs and calls from North American species and presents them in a game-like quiz. Offers the ability to sort by Eastern and Western birds, as well as song types, including clear, rough, complex, and simple. A little bit more difficult and repetitive than Chirp! Membership benefits include one year of Audubon magazine and the latest on birds and their habitats. Also, thank you for letting me now sort the families by alphabetic as the taxonomic search really was confusing to me.
But my favorite feature is almost an afterthought - share to hear a bird sing and see its species page. I'm using that feature to teach my daughter how to identify birds by their song and its just really fun. View iBird Pro Guide for Android. Several reviewers have said they like it even better than having their field guide book, especially that you can instantly listen to songs in addition to viewing identification details.
It does not have photos of the birds, but has Peterson drawings instead which I think is always better for bird identification. For those of you who prefer photos of birds for identification over drawings which we personally do not , you may like the Audubon app better than the Peterson, National Geographic or Sibley apps which do not have photos, but drawings.
If you type in the word 'gull', it instantly tells you your search matches 27 birds, If you press the 'Birds' button it will take you to where you can scroll through all 27 gulls. You can also add things like color, size and range in the search to narrow the results.
It's also priced relatively cheap. The search function seems to one of the highlights of this birding app, though we think Peterson's app is better at the same price because of added functionality and features. This narrows the range of possibilities and, combined with the beautiful and detailed bird photos, allows for rapid identification. It also gives you the locations of nearby hotspots that are open to the public and tells you what birds have been spotted there recently. While other bird field guides for the iPhone are certainly useful, this one is unique and deserves consideration by any serious birder.
