Leave a Review Raptor ID
Lacking
Wow for $10 and 1.3gb of data, I expected a lot more. First and foremost comparison diagrams. Secondly handy overall shape/silhouette guides, wing guides. It does have two side by side picture of similar species but that's it. Certainly won't help you to do quick ids in the field. The design is nice and the photos are good. Lots of text - text that would've been better as visual diagrams.Show lessMatukut
Best $10 I have spent
I have been part of the Bedford Audubon Hawkwatch for the past 5 years. It took me two to three years just to get fair at identifying distant Hawks. I think that my skills have improved 100% with this app over the period of a couple of days. Why did it take you so long? Just what I have wanted. To be able to flip from a sharpie video to a Cooper's hawk video and learn the differences is ground breaking for my. Anyone at any skill level that wishes to improve their ability to ID Hawks MUST study this app. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.Show lessWes Mack
Best raptor ID ever
Jerry Liguori and Brian Sullivan have outdone themselves with this incredible hawk ID app. Jerry and Brian shared their incredible knowledge in this cutting edge app. I highly recommend this app to all!

A great day for raptor fans
Liguori and Sullivan have clearly put in a vast amount of time and effort to craft the perfect learning tool. The text is concise and effective, the photos (including many side-by-side comparisons) are tremendous, and the video clips are truly a game-changer. The app succeeds not just in showing users the classic field marks, but most importantly, it shows how the birds actually appear when encountered in the field. If you like raptors, then you must grab this app.

Extreme!
Having raptor experts Jerry Liguori and Brian Sullivan in your pocket at all times is a must for anyone interested in birds of prey. This isn't just a photo ID app- it's so much more! Videos with the authors walking you through what you're seeing, comparisons of age and sex variation of all North American species, but not in a vacuum; rather with supplemental text, figures and multimedia to ensure you one "a ha!" moment after another! I can see beginning birders using this at hawk watches, and experts using it as a way to show new birders and to dig deeper into the status and distribution of these magnificent species. Range maps are even supplemented with hot links to the eBird database for up-to-date seasonal distributions (spring and fall migration, for instance). In short, I love this app- and I'm recommending it to everyone!! -David La Puma, Director of New Jersey Audubon's Cape May Bird ObservatoryShow lesswoodcreeper

This app is fantastic. It sets a new standard that all birding apps should aspire to. Videos with narration are like having an expert standing next to you pointing out not only the important field marks but also wing shape, and position as well as other characteristics of the bird in flight. This app has all you need to improve your raptor ID skills.Show lessNorm Jenson
The best guide out there for raptors.
An absolute must have for all raptor enthusiasts. Gorgeous photographs, excellent species descriptions and the level of detailed information is impressive. I've used most of the other apps and several books, I'll be going to this one first from now on.Allthegoodnamesaretakennumber2
