■ AI-Identified Bird Photos

The AI ​​estimates the species of bird from your photos. This is helpful when you don't know the name of a bird.

■ Your Own Bird Guide

Create your own original bird guide using your own photos. Record the birds you encounter as a life list.

Even for the same species, you can record photos of various scenes, such as males and females, juveniles, and differences in appearance due to molting.

■ Record Discovery and Shooting Locations on a Map

Record the locations where you found birds on a map, or automatically display the shooting location on the map using photo metadata (Exif, etc.).

The site now also features recommended birdwatching locations selected by the administrators.
