Identifying bird sounds

With Limosa, you can identify bird sounds using your phone. This can be useful when you hear a singing bird but are not completely sure which species it is. The identification feature helps you learn bird songs and confirm species in the field.

Sharing sightings

You can follow other birders, like their sightings and comment on them. For group sightings, you can add co-observers so the same observation also appears on their list.

For sensitive observations, such as breeding birds or vulnerable species, you can decide how visible each sighting should be.

Built for the field

Limosa is designed for use outdoors. The app has a calm, clear interface and is built to help you record a sighting quickly, without too many steps. Photos, videos and audio can be added to observations and stored.

For different kinds of birders

• Beginners: discover species and learn to identify them
• Listers: keep track of your year list, life list and other lists
• Photographers and videographers: add media to your sightings
• Active birders: organize, search and export your observations

Privacy and data

You decide the visibility of your sightings: public, friends only or private. You can export your observation data, and Limosa does not sell your data.
