Which Birding Software Do You Use? [ September 1st, 2010 ] Posted in » Birding Software, Blog

Birding Software Is About Features

Most serious birders have their favorite birding software. The reasons are many but usually come down to which features each birder considers important to them. Some want a handy smartphone app that they know they’ll have with them and others want a more complete birding reference that goes beyond quick identification. Still others use a combination depending on where they are going to be. Where do you lie on this continuum?

Do You Have Any Resident Bluebirds?

I have a pair of bluebirds who like to come and check in on me from time to time whose tale needs to be told.

Mom Bluebird

About four years ago, I had my first mating pair of Eastern Bluebirds come and make home in one of the two bluebird houses I have in my back yard. I’d had others come by in late winter, take a look quickly at both houses and never return. Chickadees have nested in those boxes every year since I started putting them up and I love them. I didn’t feel bad because I knew the Chickadees had a bunch of places near me they could use for a nest. Plus, I was excited to see I would finally have some of these birds I heard needed our help to increase their population.
