About this app

The Audubon Bird Guide is a free and complete field guide to over 800 species of North American birds, right in your pocket. Built for all experience levels, it will help you identify the birds around you, keep track of the birds you've seen, and get outside to find new birds near you.

With over 2 million downloads to date, it is one of the best and most trusted field guides for North American birds.

KEY FEATURES:

ALL-NEW: BIRD ID
It's now easier than ever to identify a bird you just saw. Enter all you were able to observe—what color was it? How big? What did its tail look like?—and Bird ID will narrow down a list of possible matches for your location and date in real time.

LEARN ABOUT THE BIRDS YOU LOVE
Our field guide features over 3,000 photos, over eight hours of audio clips of songs and calls, multi-season range maps, and in-depth text by leading North American bird expert Kenn Kaufman.

KEEP TRACK OF ALL THE BIRDS YOU SEE
With our completely redesigned Sightings feature, you can keep a record of every bird you encounter, whether you're hiking, sitting on the porch, or simply catching a glimpse of birds out the window. We'll even keep an updated life list for you.

Ratings and reviews

I really like this app but since I have installed the newest update it doesn't work as well. I haven't been able to add any new sightings this afternoon. It also doesn't display on my phone the locations I've made sightings or the different types of birds. It still shows the total number of sightings though. Update: I did everything to get a hold of Audubon and have heard nothing. really disappointed. I did do a reinstall and it seems to work right now.

Another great and functional birding app rolling out updates full of bugs during breeding/atlasing season. And still calls turkeys "rather stupid creatures" ffs... from a bird org despite years of complaints! ID search no longer works. broken location. searching species by name reverts back to all species in the entire state or country after all couple seconds and won't let you re-search without exiting. Maybe I need to go back to Google searches and books bc in the field this is a time waste.

freezing every time I try to search a bird. won't save state where I'm looking, click on what state, try to save, it says "everywhere" and repeat. it finally saves and then it freezes on the next screen. this bug renders the whole thing useless if I can't ID a bird.
