I’ve been using the BirdLog app since it was first released, and both the North
American and worldwide versions were excellent. They made tracking and
reporting birds in real-time from the field very easy compared to previous
methods. This afternoon I downloaded the new eBird mobile app for Android
(free!), and it’s even better than the original; it’s been streamlined a bit,
is faster, and has fewer “glitches” than the original. I tested it for a local
list as well as an international list, and both worked flawlessly. I highly
recommend using it, and eBird, any chance you get!
Good Birding,

For those that have not heard eBird has just released their mobile app for
android phones. It's free. From what I have read all support for birdlog will
be going away. You can check out all the details on the eBird webpage. For
those of you who have not started using ebird to enter your bird lists on you
should take a look. The program has become much more user friendly of late.
Digital bird pictures can be down loaded to your checklist easily now without
having to go through saving your pictures to flicker or some other site and
then going through a process of putting the pictures to your list. It's just
drop the picture in now. Same for bird song recordings. eBird has gone world
wide. It is a huge Citizens Science project developed by Cornel University.
Many bird questions are being answered from the data being entered by observers
like us. I can't figure out why anyone would not want to contribute to this
very scientific tool. I could go on and on about this programs benefits to
birds that we all enjoy. Looked into it. It's fun. You will be contributing to
science and helping answer questions about birds that need answering. I
believe there is already and ebird app for apple.
Good birding
