Hello fellow birders,
           There was a posting the other day about the android version of 
Ibird pro being on sale. It appears that the Iphone version is also on sale 
at $ 2.99 ( normally $ 30.00 ). I consider this app the best app available ( 
I have all the major apps ). This app is the #1 seller in the states. It 
currently has 924 species ( North America & Hawaii ). Two features that I 
believe are unique to this app that greatly increase its usefulness over 
other apps is the "favorites" feature and the ability to add photos to this 
app. 
           The favorite feature enables you to make a special "file" for say 
a Florida trip. You would put all target birds for that Florida trip into a 
favorite file titled Florida and when in Florida you would use that file and 
would have the target birds quickly available without having to look threw 
the whole app for the target bird(s) that you wanted information on. I 
myself have at least a dozen individual state files and when on a trip this 
speeds up my ability to get to specific birds.
           Adding photos say from Google, Flicker etc... gives you the 
ability to "hand pick" your photos to use in the field ( flight, juvenile, 
male, female, different angles ). As one tool to make id's in the field I 
personally like having real photos. This is a great app, good format, ease 
of use, comprehensive selection of birds, calls ( different regions etc...), 
photos, range maps, species information etc... For $3 I do not believe 
anyone will be disappointed. May the birds be with you, Henry.
