What is BirdScope?
BirdScope is a bird identification app for iPhone. It helps you identify birds from photos or recorded sounds, then explore species information and keep a personal collection.
Can BirdScope identify a bird by photo?
Yes. You can take a photo or choose one from your library. A clear image with the bird’s shape and markings visible gives you a better starting point.
Can BirdScope identify a bird by sound?
Yes. You can record a bird call or song and review the audio before looking at the suggested species. Background noise, distance, and overlapping calls can affect a result.
Are BirdScope results guaranteed to be correct?
No identification app should be treated as infallible. Use the result as a likely match, compare the visible or audio clues, and check a trusted field reference when the species matters.
How can I improve an identification?
Use a sharper photo, record a longer and cleaner call, include the habitat and location as context, and compare more than one clue. You can also try both photo and sound when you have access to the bird.
Does BirdScope include information beyond the species name?
BirdScope is designed to help you learn about appearance, habitat, behavior, calls, galleries, and bird watching topics after the initial match.
Where can I download BirdScope?
BirdScope is available on the App Store for iPhone.
