Description [menu]
g-Bird Android is a Worldwide GPS Bird recording app that allows you to quickly and easily record any Bird species that you are currently viewing in the field anywhere in the world. No more need to write checklists anymore or create personal bird lists for certain areas, its all automatically done now and can be exported and emailed to .csv format for use in other projects. It should take now about 2-4 seconds to record any bird sighting and is possible to record most species in a bird party around you in just a minute or 2 while they are still present.
One of the main features of the app is a provisional validation of whether the bird is Inside/Outside its recognized Distribution Range or not and therefore a first level of Data Vetting. This helps tremendously and provides immediate feedback of a potential mis-id of a bird in the field. Having the phone tell you whether it is out of range allows you the chance to re-id the bird while it is still in front of you.
The ability to record real-time bird observations in the field and have them flow directly into the g-Bird database has huge implications, not just for birders and g-Bird, but for citizen-science in general.
