Falconry Journal takes that old notebook where you log all of your birds feedings, weight and kills digital. It automatically pulls data about the weather, location and time of your kills to make logging easy and fun. It also provides tools that allow you to more accurately predict your bird(s)' weight at any given time, so that you never miss a hunt. Falconry Journal allows you unlimited birds and data, and backs it all up securely in the cloud in case you need to change phones. Falconry Journal also lets you export your data so that you can further analyze it in any way you choose, making that paper journal completely obsolete!
