Daily Activity tab changes: • Tap the "Cnt" or "Hourly" column headers to sort the species list — by count, or by how recently each species was last heard. Tap the same header again to flip the direction. An arrow shows the active sort. • The confidence column now shows the average confidence for the day rather than the single highest detection. Expand a species to see both the average and the max. • Species info links (eBird / Wikipedia) now open inside the app instead of switching to Safari. Swipe down or tap Done to return. • New hourly activity heat strip on Daily Activity — a one-line 24-hour bar below the daily stats showing when birds were active that day, colored cool→warm by how busy each hour was relative to the day's peak. On today's view it fills in live as detections arrive, with a small tick marking the current hour.
