Audubon Bird Guide: Identify Birds with High-Quality Photos & Audio

Mobile app for 800+ North American bird species, featuring photos, audio recordings, range maps & more to aid in identification.

What is Audubon Bird Guide?

The Audubon Bird Guide is a comprehensive mobile application for identifying and learning about birds across North America. Developed by the National Audubon Society, it contains detailed information on over 800 bird species found on the continent.

The app's main feature is its collection of thousands of high-resolution photographs showing birds in various poses, plumages, ages, and environments. Users can browse the images or use an identification wizard that narrows options down by location, color, size, and distinguishing features. Detailed species profiles provide facts, range maps, seasonal patterns, conservation status, and audio recordings of songs and calls.

Additional tools in the Audubon Bird Guide include life lists for logging sightings, location-based alerts for rare bird sightings imported from eBird, and tips and information on birdwatching techniques. The app works offline once downloaded so it can be used in remote areas without cell service.

With its extensive photographic database, informative species descriptions, and built-in identification tools, the Audubon Bird Guide app aims to help both novice and expert birders accurately distinguish between different birds across North America. Its encyclopedic content and intuitive interface make it one of the most comprehensive mobile birding resources available.
