App Description

Uniquely designed for easy use in the field, this app covers all 65 species of birds of prey and owls found in Europe (includes very rare visitors, such as the Marsh Owl). Detailed species accounts describe key identification features, voice, habitat, range, and size. Almost 500 full-color illustrations depict every species, and color distribution maps provide breeding and wintering ranges for every species. Wing pattern photos are included for every species.

Complete with an introduction to each family of birds, this new edition is the ultimate field guide to Europe's fascinating birds of prey and owls.

A key feature is the Field Note Editor, which allows you to record bird sightings and store/backup this data to an external server from which the data can be restored or installed on another device. Also included: exchange your field notes via Bluetooth with other users (or other iOS devices) running the same app.
