Birds of Zambia App

Do you ever wake  up in the morning to beautiful birdsong outside your window and find yourself wondering, what is that bird? Do your children point to different yard bird species and wonder what their names are?

Wonder no more- for the new Birds of Zambia app launched last month to great reviews. This $20 app available through iTunes for iPad or iPhone is “an up-to-date identification guide to all recorded birds of the country created by Derek Solomon, Frank Willems and Rory McDougall.” Now you can get started on identifying some of the 779 bird species of Zambia!

 The app’s features include:

• Zoomable hi-resolution images, distribution maps, and detailed text descriptions for all 779 bird species recorded in Zambia including seasonality and breeding graphics.
• Photographs of each species, with multiple images for most.
• Audible calls for nearly all species.
• “Bird Compare” that allows you to compare two birds on the same screen.
• A personal bird list that stores your bird sightings saved to the device.
• View the Bird Index either alphabetically or taxonomically.

A new Birds of Zambia pocket guide is scheduled for publication in 2020. As soon as it is in print, we will sell copies of it from the AISL Library.

​Happy birding!
