Hey Roger,
The others have some good ideas.  I think I will represent the other side
of the coin though..

iBird Pro: tons of calls/songs and descriptions.
BirdLog North America: To make checklists to submit straight to ebird.
Easier than pen/paper.
BirdsEye: Locate a specific bird, see bar charts, and see rare bird alerts.
Oregon2020: View the Hotspot squares for helping with the Oregon 2020
project.
Master Birder by Larkwire: Bird sounds quiz/game.
Rode Rec: Good recording app - for recording unknown calls and then
puzzling over them later.

Not totally related, but Motion-X GPS:  You can pre-download terrain maps
for areas you wont' have cell service, the gps still works when out of cell
range, giving you a second version of whatever is your primary map. (it
does use up your battery a lot though).

I had other ones similar to iBird Pro (Peterson Birds Field Guide), but I
didn't use it much, and didn't have enough space on my phone for all of
them.

Cheers,
Brandon Wagner
