Ibird app.

Trust me. Get the pro version. It's got everything all the bird books you could buy will have plus songs, pics, paintings, a search function by every fricking feature a bird could possibly have.

I've got a lot of bird books and I haven't touched one since getting Ibird pro for Iphone. Nor have I ever been this good at ID'n birds.

You can turn on their vocalizations and actually freak the damn things out. I had Carolina wrens or whatever they are practically landing on my head trying to find the bird they were hearing.

It's amazin.

Yeah, the bird apps are great for this. I use Audubon and Sibley both. After I lured a Northern Parula for this shot he flew in and perched on the end of my camera lens. We were eyeball to eyeball which was pretty surreal.

Thanks for the I bird tip! I live on Poverty Pt lake and see a ton of birds. I' ve been using Petersons Birds of Texas and a large edition of Audubon's illustrations. Also found a Davis' s Birds of Mexico and Central America. Local library was giving away books and there it was. The Peterson is one I bought for George Lowery's ornithology class at LSU about 1970 or so. I have life list of about 200 birds I have identified. Last bird last year was a willet feeding in my yard in a rainstorm.
