Beautiful bird images, kid-friendly facts, interactive family scenes, range maps, songs, identification tips and simple search tools make discovering birds fun whether you're exploring your backyard, visiting a park, traveling with your family, or just curious about the birds around you. MEET 500 AMAZING BIRDS Every bird has its own richly illustrated field-guide page. See birds from different angles, including front, side, head and flight views. Learn the field marks to look for, discover interesting facts, see where the bird lives, and compare its size and weight to familiar everyday objects. You'll also find useful information including bird family, group, length, species code and scientific name. FIND THE BIRD YOU'RE LOOKING FOR Know its name? Just start typing. Not sure what it was? Size and Color can help narrow it down. Choose the bird's approximate size and colors and explore possible matches. It's a simple way for beginning birders to start answering that exciting question: "What bird did I just see?" DISCOVER BIRD FAMILIES Birds make more sense when you see how they're related. Explore groups and families such as owls, hawks, herons, ducks, warblers, jays, thrushes and many more. See the birds that belong together and jump directly to any species that catches your eye. SEE BIRDS IN THEIR WORLD Our Family Photos turn bird identification into a visual adventure. Explore ponds, lakes, marshes, shorelines, oceans and other habitats filled with birds. Pinch to zoom, drag around the scene, and tap a bird to learn more about it. Can you recognize the eagle on the fence? The duck on the water? The owl flying overhead? It's part field guide and part bird-finding game. LEARN WHERE BIRDS LIVE Colorful range maps show where birds can be found throughout North America, including their year-round, summer, winter and migration ranges. Migration information helps kids discover that the birds in their backyard may have traveled hundreds—or even thousands—of miles to get there. LISTEN TO THE BIRDS Birding isn't only about what you can see. Listen to bird songs and calls and begin learning how to recognize birds by sound. BUILD YOUR AWESOME BIRD LIST Saw one? Record it! Tap "I Just Saw This Bird!" to add a sighting to My Awesome Bird List. Save the date, time, location and your own comments. Over time, kids can build a personal record of the birds they've discovered. A walk through the neighborhood can become a birding expedition. A family vacation can become a search for birds you've never seen before. And a bird outside the window might just become the beginning of a lifelong fascination with nature. Explore. Discover. Enjoy!
