I had a lunch date with my wife on Friday and decided to head on out to Maine
Chance Farm (Lexington) after she went back to work to test out the BirdLog app
that I just purchased. I found it pretty easy to use. I had been using a voice
recorder to record sightings as I went along, but this required some work at
home to tally everything up. With the app, it kept a running total and and I
was
able to submit the list to ebird as I was leaving the park. I also used a GPS
app that kept track of my time and distance so I did not have to estimate these
and the BirdLog app automatically notes start time. Good combination. As for
birds, still seeing a few Cackling Geese mixed in with the Canada and had one
Am
Tree Sparrow along the side of the road.
