Outstanding app!

This app is truly one of the best resources available anywhere for learning identification of North American raptors! The photos and in-depth descriptions alone are excellent, but the short, narrated videos are a game-changer!

Mute Switch Issue

For those that have no sounds (despite volume being at max) in the videos is because the mute switch is toggled. Took me forever to figure out. Now Jerry’s helpful field notes are back!

Very Good App

This app has so many ways to help you with Raptor Identification. Images divided by age. Also videos and range maps. Highly recommend this app for birders. This is also a free app. Jerry is no longer with us but this app will be a lasting legacy.
