Audubon launches a free App for birders

Mobile users can have more than 800 bird species right in their pockets

Check this out!                 

       The National Audubon Society recently released an updated Audubon Birds Pro mobile app available via iTunes, Google Play and Amazon.  And get this -- it's free!

       The App includes an 821-species checklist from the American Ornithologists Union (AOU) and is the first time a complete field guide to North American birds is available for free mobile download.

The Audubon Bird Guide allows users to:

• Identify 821 species with in-depth descriptions including information on appearance, habitat, behavior and more.
• Explore a gallery of more than 3,200 images from the world-renown VIREO, Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University’s world-wide collection of bird photography.
• Listen to up to eight hours of bird calls, differentiated by region and season. 
• Access robust seasonal and migratory range maps. 
• Browse species in a gallery view and filter by shape, region and color, aiding quick identification. 
• Use “Find Birds with eBird” to locate birds seen recently in the vicinity, drawing on the continuously updated database from the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology and eBird. 
• Post, keep lists and share sightings with friends and followers with Audubon NatureShare’s easy and user-friendly interface.
