Every distinct plumage is covered in superb, high-quality color illustrations. This mobile version includes all of the content included in the print edition, and much more. Ecuador is renowned for its unique habitats and diversity of wildlife. It attracts birders and nature seekers from around the globe.

This easy-to-use application comes equipped with concise species descriptions, range maps, audio of bird songs and calls, and detailed illustrations. Birds of Ecuador simplifies bird identification with an interactive Smart Search tool, and it makes it easy to keep track of bird sightings with an updatable life list. This app is an important and must-have tool for all bird enthusiasts traveling in Ecuador. It is also useful in surrounding countries such as Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, and the Brazilian Amazon. FEATURES: • Detailed species accounts for all of Ecuador’s 1600+ bird species • Audio recordings for over 1500 species to help identify unknown bird calls in the field or to study for an upcoming trip • Gorgeous illustrations for every species, showing all major plumages, morphs, and geographic variations. • Interactive Smart Search tool helps narrow down birds by region, color, size, and habitat • Sort birds by region or filter the species list to only show birds nearby you. • Easily keep track of your Ecuador Life List This electronic title is published by Birds in the Hand, LLC. and the audio recordings were compiled and edited by Neils Krabbe.

Reviews of Birds of Ecuador

Good content, suboptimal execution

Lots of good information as it is based on an authoritative original source. Translating that content into a truly useful app, however, is somewhat of a mixed bag. Some aspects that I find frustrating include:

-descriptions and illustrations are not both visible at once in the same page view so I’m constantly swiping back and forth to match features with their description;

-portrait only view (fine for phone but can’t use it easily with my iPad’s external keyboard);

-the life list feature seems pretty useless because there doesn’t appear to be any way to see only the species you’ve included on your life list and scrolling through 1661 species to find the ones you’ve checked off is a non-starter. (This isn’t a huge deal since I keep my life list in eBird anyways but I had hoped to use the feature to create a small group of birds to study at a time by comparison.)

Good features include filtering by location (region) to show most likely species and multistep help with identifying unknown birds (similar to Merlin app).

One feature that I would love to see added would be a quiz mode where you could select the species or group of species that you wanted to review and you could take a test to identify species by illustration or sound.

Overall, still a useful app but it could be really great with some improvements. Leaves me a little disappointed considering the price.

Buggy / not really functional

I have an up to date iOS install on an iPhone 13. The app has gray icons that haven’t loaded (variable but the back arrow is always buggy). Most of the time screen presses don’t register and the buttons don’t map to the screen correctly. Sounds don’t play. Disappointed.

Where did the sound go?

Great app, except the sounds don’t work! Would be a cool feature if I could figure that out.
