This Nature Conservancy Blog by Timothy Boucher has a very thorough article on choosing a birding app for your smart phone. Also be sure to read the comments, as they add some good perspective. As I mentioned today, I finally selected the Sibley app, mostly because it presents more than just one song example, and because I really think Sibley drawings are the best.
A very good book some of you got to review today is the Young Birder's Guide by Bill Thompson III. In it you will find a whole host of tips for beginning birders, from selecting binoculars, to finding birds in the binoculars, to identifying birds, etc, etc. It is also a very useful field guide covering most bird species you are likely to encounter, and under each species, it contains unique "WOW" facts not found in conventional field guides. Available through Amazon and elsewhere.
