Birder's Diary is the premiere birding app in the industry. The desktop version is essential for all types of birders. The customer service is second to none.

This app is very thorough and detailed, but yet simple to use. It's the best birding app bar none!
by RO*****, 2023-12-30

For a couple of years I used both this app and eBird app but now I only use this one because it has more features. Ones I use most often are (1) sorting taxonomy by last name first, eg, Duck, Mottled as it the fastest lookup. (2) displays yearly abundance for every species. (3) multiple taxonomies. I use birds, mammals and plants most often (4) pinpoints exact location for every entry, not just gps for the whole list. (5) uploads immediately to the cloud. (6) easy access to photos and audio.
