Description

BirdLog will fundamentally change the way we go birding, Chris Wood, eBird Project Leader.

Enter your sightings into eBird right from the field with BirdLog! Intro price of $9.99!

BirdLog is the first and only mobile data app for quickly and easily recording and submitting your sightings directly into eBird from the field! Forget about notebooks, pencils and sitting at your computer. Transform your bird sightings into eBird submissions to build your own lists while sharing your sightings and supporting conservation.

Youll enter more lists with BirdLog and enter them more accurately. It is easy to tally birds as you goand thus counting them more accurately, automatically capturing the time and duration, and using the devices GPS and map interface for greater precision of locations.

BirdLog was developed by active eBird users as a power app for submitting data into eBird. If you are not already familiar with eBird, we recommend that you visit ebird.org and register before using BirdLog the first time.

Here's what some birders are saying about BirdLog, the only app for directly submitting sightings into eBird from the field:

I enter more checklists simply because its so easy, and still have more free time at home. Ive waited for in-the-field data entry for years, Marshall Iliff, eBird Project Manager.

The ability to record real-time bird observations in the field and have them flow directly into the eBird database has huge implications, not just for birders and eBird, but for citizen-science in general, Brian Sullivan, eBird Project Manager.

BirdLog is stunning in its simplicity and efficiency. I now enter my almost daily observations in the field with greater accuracy in time, date, and numbers, Ohio eBirder.

BirdsEye BirdLog is the exclusive mobile data entry app for eBird that allows you to:

Plot the exact location of your sightings using your phone's GPS

Easy 1 tap to increment species counts

Create new personal locations or choose an existing hotspot or personal location for your checklist

Our company is committed to birds, the birding community and bird conservation. Every BirdsLog purchase you make directly supports the eBird project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. We think theyre worth itnow and for the future of birds and their habitats.

Notes on BirdLog v1.4: BirdLog has matured, features have been added and bugs have been fixed compared to previous versions. Some known issues are: 1) GPS location is still a bit difficult in places with low cell coverage; 2) The default list used when there is no connection is the full North American list. We plan to provide regional default lists in an upcoming version.

This version includes the US (including Hawaii) and Canada. Our world version, called "BirdsEye BirdLog -- Worldwide" is available for birders who want world coverage. The advantage of the regional versions compared to the world version is that the lists are smaller and slightly faster because they do not need to juggle the full worldwide taxonomy, and because they offer a much shorter default list for use when creating a checklist offline.

What's New in Version 1.4.4

• BirdLog now stays on even when the screen times out.
• BirdLog now beautifully supports full iPad display in addition to iPhone and iPod Touch.
• supports both km and miles settings
• recent locations now appear in order in which they were last used, not the order in which they were added.
• misc minor bug fixes, including changing quantity to 0 no longer resets to top of the page

Customer Reviews

Battery Issues (4 stars)
First off, love this app!! For keeping counts and submitting to eBird, nothing beats it. I have only one issue with the app and it's kind of a big deal. This week, I went on two 12+ hour birding trips and both times I had major issues with battery usage. On Tuesday, I was lucky enough to have a mobile charger with me and squeezed some extra juice in while we were in the car between spots but today, I wasn't so lucky. When I'm birding, I open

Great program (5 stars)
I use this app every day and love it. Good design, easy to use, fun. Some problems initially with the gps feature but those appear to be addressed now.

A wonderful tool. (5 stars)
I have submitted more than 100 trip lists using this app. Submitting trip lists is fast and effortless. Definitely a keeper.
