What's New in Birds of Peru

1.1

November 4, 2016

This update from Apple will improve the functionality of this app. No new features are included. The taxonomy has been updated to reflect 2016 Clements/eBird: - We added detailed species accounts for the new Peruvian splits, so we now cover all of Peru's 1843 bird species - We added audio recordings for some splits (where available) now covering 1515 species - We added notes to make cross-referencing the taxonomy to the paper version of the guide easier We have also fixed some issues reported by users (thank you!): - typo fixes - misc content corrections - Better audio descriptions were added - Illustrations now include descriptions (i.e. subspecies, morphs, etc)

App crashes upon opening

Sadly the app doesn’t work on my device (iPhone 15 Pro). The app opens, then after asking to share location data with the app it crashes. It never makes it past the opening page. Tried all the basic troubleshooting and downloading on a different device and had the same problem. Would love for this to be fixed so I can have this book digitally!

Doesn’t work

Just purchased: app won’t open beyond front page. Have requested refund

Good book but could be improved

A friend had what must have been an earlier version which had the layout of the physical book, with 6-8 similar birds grouped on each page, with larger pictures. This, I feel, is a better layout than the existing one where there are small images in a column.
Also I have found at least 3 birds missing - Andean ibis, glacier finch and Goulds Inca - all seen by me. Also white browed antbird — I saw a similar bird in high sierra but internet info states a different environment so not identified… but this bird is also not in Birds of Peru app.

Great Resource, But More Vocalizations Desirable

Nothing else nearly so comprehensive and authoritative available for Peru, a nation whose avifauna is very complex. Good to see updates of nomenclature provided, but not enough recordings: several species are not covered, and in many instances the range of recordings offered for species is too limited.

Peru Birds App

Excellent app. Uses the same images, range maps and text as the book (with updates). We took both book and app on a tour but didn’t use the book at all. Obviously the addition of the songs and calls for most species is a huge bonus. Also has a listing facility which you can use to record the species already seen.
