Top 5 Bird Watching Apps
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 авг 2024
- This video gives my top 5 bird watching apps. Birding is and amazing hobby and it is even more amazing how much smart phones have improved the experience. I go through my top five list (which includes Merlin bird ID and the app version of Xeno Canto, to give you a preview) and describe how they can assist you while birding in the field. I hope that learning about these birding apps will help you while birding and also more likely to contribute to citizen science (specifically bird run by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology).
The goal of my channel, Adventure Ed, is meant to not only teach you about nature but also to teach you how to enjoy nature. I am a wildlife biologist with a focus on birds, and although I focus a lot on birdwatching, I explore many other aspects of nature and wildlife on this channel. My goal is to get everyday people more interested in the natural world around them. In my videos I provide ecotourism travel guides, app and gear reviews, tips on how to photograph and identify wildlife, natural history lessons, and much more.

PS: all of the apps are not exclusive to North America at the time this video was made. I did not include any apps that were exclusive for North America. I am making another video for North American guide books and apps.

sorry for the late reply, thank you for the outline :)
I liked that several of the apps integrate with each other, so it's like signing up for eBird and then having layers of advanced (aka nerdy) tools on top of that. These videos will go so well together in a playlist!
thanks a lot man! yes check back for more videos in this playlist. I am currently working on a video with a tentative title called: "Why Birding Is Cool"
Thank you. I am preparing a presentation for the upcoming Christmas Bird Count and will use your video to help introduce the birders in Hilton Head Island SC to birding apps. I also subscribed. Thanks, Amy
great tips especially as I'm new to bird watching
Thank you for your suggestions! I currently only have Merlin and will definitely look at the others in your top 5.
No problem! I am making another video on apps for just North America, which I am hoping to publish really soon!
The app Birds Near Me is really good. It uses your location to suggest hotspots near you anywhere in the world. It also has a feature that shows you notable birds that are less common in your area and it has a worldwide field guide you can use to look up birds. The only downside is that in the field guide, you can’t narrow the birds down by country or region, so you have to know what you’re looking for ahead of time. Other than that, I’d say it’s great!
👍🖐nice for you to give this info especially for beginners. I hope everyone uses the apps are wonderful. Thanks for your video.
absolutely! thank you for watching!
Does any of these apps have a place for notes on each bird? I watch my birds on my land. I like to note what time of year I see them when they build nest and how many in brood. So I can go back each year and look. Which app has a note feature?
I have Roberts birding 2 app. I can’t figure out how to change locations. Do you know how?
very good channel and exelent video i Am starting with ebird . Do you know about wildlifes apps for see mammals by exemples ?
I do know there is a "mammals of north America App" but I don't think it got good reviews. there is also "Stuarts North American Mammals". This is a great idea for another video I should make! Thank you so much for watching, I have many more videos to come :)
smart bird id is good
Can anyone recommend an App which covers New Zealand native birds? I am a volunteer trapper in a Kiwi Reserve and would love to know what the birds I am hearing are.
Surprised the Sibley's App wasn't on here. Not only has pictures of birds to assist on identification but also recordings of their calls.
I am making a video for all bird apps/guide books for North America specifically. This video was only for those that can be used internationally. Sibley is indeed my number one bird app I use in the field as a North American birder and will be included in that video!! Thanks a lot for watching, and look out for that next video!
@@Adventure.Ed.EcoFit Will do. I would be interested in seeing one on best apps to use to record bird calls as well.
thank you for the feedback! i will certainly consider that when i make a new video!
Thanks very helpful even at home in Germany
Glad to hear! Thank you for watching and happy holidays!!
When you live in Germany Ornitho. de and the NaturaList App is probably the better choice for you! The website Ornitho.de is much more common among birders in Germany, Austria and Swiss than eBird. Its hosted by NABU and Birdlife and they have many local coordinators that can help you out if you have problems.
Greetings from Berlin ;)
fascinating, I have never heard of Ornitho.de, thank you for letting me know!
@@Adventure.Ed.EcoFit your welcome :)
never knew about xeno!
Alyssa Couroux it’s a great app!!
You need more subs
haha thanks! I appreciate the complement
Thank you so much for suggesting these applications but can you please tell all these are for iOS or Android?
No problem! That is a great question that I should have mentioned in the video. I believe all of these apps are available on both iOS and Android, unless something has changed
Which app is swetable for us in india?
I am a beginner, so I use Merlin to ID and then eBird.
sorry for the late reply, those are great apps to use!
Can Someone please tell me Which translator is the best for birds, like I need it real bad
Soooo. The best one is number.....1.....5..?
I want Merlin but it does not ask me the quesrion
sorry for the late reply--what do you mean it does not ask you the question?
how to deter european starlings HELP (namaste)
Merlin is the worst thing to happen to birding ever. Nobody is interested in learning anything, they just want a picture so they can upload.
