Best Birdwatching Apps to Identify and Track Your Birdwatching
iOS and Android: Birdwatching is a great way to put your phone down and experience nature, but phone apps can be of great help in identifying birds and recording your sightings. The BirdWatchingBuzz blog has named the five best birdwatching apps and has written extensive reviews with screenshots of the apps in action.
Their top pick is iBird Pro Guide to Birds, a $ 15 iOS and Android app with in-app purchases. You can search for birds by name, or take a photo and ask the app to identify the bird. You can also put together a collection of your own observations along with your photos.
BirdWatchingBuzz also loves the free Audubon bird guide for North America, which includes a social feature so bird watchers can share sightings with each other. It becomes a powerful tool for real-time information and you can use it to find good birdwatching spots based on past sightings. It is a great addition to the slowly updating database of migration patterns and habitats.
When choosing a bird watching app, make sure you find one that’s right for your area. Many apps are purchased separately for North America and Europe, while other regions are often sold as add-on packages. This is one of the reasons why you should stock up on multiple apps and use them together.
In addition to the BirdWatchingBuzz collections, we recommend three bird song recognition apps . But remember not to play the recorded birds singing out loud in the field so as not to confuse the wildlife. And don’t let phone apps get in the way of your bird watching.
