Re: [mou-net] Birding apps for android phones
I use Sibley all the time because of its vocalizations. The illustrations I really only use to show somebody else a bird. If I am going to need an illustration, I will go to one or two field guides. It has been well worth its cost. My only criticism of Sibley is that periodically it checks to see if you have a valid license. To do that it needs to connect to the grid. As serious bird watchers can wander off the grid, the ap has failed me on several occasions when I had no bars. I have really missed it when I have gone far off the grid for a while.

Re: [mou-net] Birding apps for android phones
For an Android phone, you have essentially five choices. They are laid out in this article. http://blog.nature.org/science/2013/05/27/boucher-bird-blog-apps-smart-birde r/ I own Audubon, Sibley and iBird Pro for my Android phone and I also use National Geographic on my iPad, along with the Warbler Guide - which is the slickest of any of the apps, but only deals with Warblers. I personally use iBird Pro most when out in the field. I find it organized the best. I also like the similar species feature, which is very helpful when trying to ID terns and flycatchers, etc. It seems to have the best or among the best of each features. The Peterson, despite having the name of the great guides, is pretty basic. Sibley is the most expensive. It has no photos, just illustrations. Sibley has the most songs and they are identified by where they were recorded because regional differences do exist in bird songs.
