Bird and Nature Apps

[ysabetwordsmith]

Bird field guides have been around for a long time. You can find a continental or national one, or look for something focused on your locale. It's a useful thing to have around. You might also like to have other wildlife guides or plant guides.

Nowadays though, most people prefer mobile apps. A smartphone or tablet computer doesn't weigh much and can store or access massive amounts of information. Here are some bird and nature apps that you might like...

These various apps have different tools and features. Some will upload results directly to your blog or to the app's networking site. For a while, we had someone posting their Merlin results in this community; that was really fun to see, and would be great to have again. Some apps require you to fill out a checklist. Others can work from a picture or even birdsong. Some are free, others paid subscription. Look through the options and see what appeals to you.
