Best birding app for the Caribbean
Very good app! Amazing resourcd
United StatesWonderful App
I loved this app for the beautiful birds I saw on my trip to the West Indies. It has several nice search features to home in on unknown species with characteristics like size, bill shape, etc, or a simple search by name. You can also narrow down possibilities by island and excluding rare species unlikely to be seen on a visit. You can customize the app by lists in alphabetical order or taxonomical groups in either English or Spanish. There is a long bibliography, a lot of detailed descriptions of species and the environment and range and abundance maps for species that breed in Puerto Rico. A last big help: each species has an audio file that displays a spectrogram as the sound plays.
United StatesBest app for birding in Puerto Rico and Lesser Antilles.
I’ve spent a big part of my life birding and photographing birds specially in the Caribbean islands. I own a collection of birds guides from the region that I take out to the field with me, but now with Mark Oberle’s smartphone app I can have a birding guide always with me without the necessity of reminding me of carrying a cumbersome book. The app covers all the birds, both residents and migratory from Puerto Rico to Antigua in the Lesser Antilles, with beautiful photographs that make identification of the birds very easy. The app allows you to keep birds lists from different areas you go birding so you can keep track of your sightings for sharing with other people or for your personal enjoyment. As a surplus the app also includes the majority of the bird songs aiding in the identification as well as enhancing the birding experience and enjoyment of the app even when relaxing at home. The app have a powerful tool for comparing birds, and is both in English and Spanish. This app is a must for any birder/naturalist interested in knowing more about Caribbean birds and I highly recommend it.

We have improved a few things and especially introduced a new Id function to narrow down birds. You can now see the birds immediately when traits are selected. Happy birding!
