Excellent!

I used this to make flash cards on GoodNotes for my trip to Hawaii. I’m mediocre birder. I was well-prepared and was able to start aiding birds at the airport! I added the location/habitat notes to my flash cards to help me memorize the names of the locations and habitat nuances to help me find birds.

Future directions I hope you consider adding something like the Sibley app, which has “my list” and you can note the location and slide a button so it automatically adds the GPS location to the bird. Not that I’ll ever go back to the exact location, but I love the idea of pinpointing a life bird location. I’m not very good at bird songs, but I like having the songs to listen to.

Great sound recordings.

Great sound recordings help with ID of rainforest birds.

Was expecting more

In the area to learn more in how to search and other ‘learn more’ links, the page says we’re sorry. Yep, I’m sorry I can’t learn more to how to optimize how I use this app. :) Some of the birds near me, Black-necked Stilt, and other endangered species don’t appear on the list of Hawaiian birds or the birds near me. Yet I know they here are because I’ve seen them. Realizing I may not be searching right because the link doesn’t work.

My favorite birdwatching app

You can search by soooo many features. Tail shape! Song type! Prominent color! All of these have enabled me to ID birds that would have been otherwise unknowable.

Great app

Fun to use on our recent trip to Kauai. I would like a better photo
of the female White-rumped Shama.
