The Warbler Guide App

Scott Whittle and Tom Stephenson have been cooking up some really hot stuff for warbler lovers over the last couple of years. They are releasing a new app for The Warbler Guide, featuring filters that let you combine both audio and visual qualities, 3D models of every warbler, and a complete, playable set of vocalizations.

Be among the first to see this video preview about the song feature in the app only here at BirdingIsFun.com today:

Unique new app-only features:
  • 3D models of birds in all plumages, rotatable and pinch-zoomable to match field experience of a bird
  • Intuitive, visual, and interactive finders with filters for possible species based on audio and visual criteria chosen by the user
  • Playback of all songs and vocalizations with sonograms makes study of vocalizations easy
  • iPhone® and iPad® versions let you take these useful tools into the field
  • Selectable finder sortings grouped by color, alphabetical order, song type, and taxonomic order
  • Interactive song finder using objective vocabulary for fast ID of unknown songs
  • Simultaneous visual and song finders makes identifying an unknown warbler even easier
  • Half-speed song playback allows for easier study of song structure
  • Comparison species with selectable side, 45 degree, and undertail views
  • Features 75 3D images
  • Covers 48 species and 75 plumages
  • Includes 277 vocalizations, 156 songs, 73 contact calls, and 48 flight calls

  3. Sad that you choose to develop for a platform that is at substandard and restrictive. Android? Sigh.
