Hi All: The bird-finding app, BirdsEye, long inhabiting the Apple platform, is available for Android phones and tablets as of today. I am just letting you know, I get absolutely no financial benefit from sales; I did Beta test it for the developers.
On your phone or tablet, go to this address at the Google Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.birdseyebirding.birdseye This is basically a very slick app for finding birds you need for your various lists, but a few caveats are in order: 1. The app works in conjunction with eBird, so it really helps to have an eBird account. The app alerts you to birds in your vicinity that you lack, but which have been reported on eBird. 2. The app is “free.” BUT, in order to search for ALL the birds in your area (instead of the most common 50), you must invest in a monthly membership. This membership is cheap enough, only a couple of dollars—but the word “free” is a tad misleading. I recommend checking the app out. I am going to buy a membership for North American birds (other continents costs extra). This app is almost like a bird Geiger counter for birders. dan -- Dan or Erika Tallman Northfield, Minnesota [email protected] http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com ".... the best shod travel with wet feet...Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes ....”—H.
