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 s

[mou-net] Afton State Park sightings (Washington County)

I had a great outing late this morning at Afton State Park (Washington County). The best bird was a YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO cooing from the first ravine north of Trout Brook. I was also able to relocate the PROTHONOTARY WARBLER reported by Dale Trexel yesterday, which was singing out toward the river

[mou-net] Android Apps and Vesper Sparrow water bathing

My recommendations are similar to Jeremy’s, except that I prefer the Sibley app. I use the Sibley Guide app often. It has looping sound tracts. It also has a variety of calls for each species. I no longer carry a bulky field guide into the field. If it is just sound you want, the tracts from the c
