Thanks Steve, bought it!
I also bought,for $2.99, The Birds of South America. It appears to be a
new app and claims to feature 3000 species.
It took 2 minutes to down load to my iPhone.
There were no photos/pictures included, however, I then downloaded 1180
images (photos and drawings) WHICH TOOK 2.5 hrs TO COMPLETE. BEWARE IF
YOU DO THIS I USED UP MY MONTHLY DATA ALLOWANCE. The photos are, in many
cases, very good but there seems to be only a max of 2 per any specific
bird - at this stage.
The bonus is that if you get the app now, at this price, they say they
will provide updates free as they progressively add more info and the
price will rise. There is no requirement to download the images
incidentally - its your choice.
I can't say it is the ultimate guide to birds of S America - there is a
brief description of each species and a
written description of where it may be seen - not a map. But I figured
for $2.99 it wasn't a bad deal and if it all went to hell in a
handbasket - I'd just delete it and no big loss.
It'll be interesting, I think, to see how it develops. Hopefully they
will update to maps in the future.
Cheers
Colin
