- MACWORLD'S "BEST REFERENCE APP 2009"
- Over 2 hours of audio bird songs and calls from the Macaulay Library at the Lab of Ornithology.
Finally, a field guide that’s as light as a feather.
iBird Backyard is an interactive guide to some of the most popular bird species found in the backyards of North America. This innovative application, designed specifically for any Windows 7 netbook, contains full color illustrations, bird calls and comprehensive facts to help you identify and enjoy 148 North American bird species.
iBird Backyard offers features impossible to find in a conventional field guide to birds, and it is the perfect learning tool for children and young adults. With no need for an Internet connection, and all of the data right at your fingertips, you can make bird identification a fun activity on any hike, camping trip or family vacation.
One of the most impressive features of iBird is its powerful "decision engine" which allows you to identify a bird when you recall only a few facts about it. Was the bird red? Select the color characteristic and iBird will match only birds that have red bodies. Did you see it in California? Select the state attribute and California and iBird will find just red birds in California. There are attributes for everything important to bird identification, from shape, color, location, even the shape of its bill!
iBird Backyard contains the same features found in our wildly popular iBird field guides for the iPhone, iPad and Android mobile devices.
- Parameter-driven search engine for quickly identifying birds by their shape, color, location, habitat, head pattern, flight pattern, bill shape, size and more
- Play the built in bird call and song recordings to attract birds right to your netbook
- Hand-drawn full sized color illustrations
- Extensive identification, behavior, and habitat information, including diet, egg color and more
- Full color range maps for every species
- Lifetime updates to bird information
When you have more time on your hands, browse through the sumptuous illustrations and comprehensive expert birding facts.

I've seen this on iPhone and thought it was cool. So glad to see it on Windows! I hope they publish a version with more birds soon, but this is a steal at $1.99
