Mitch Dubin Wouldn't it be great if iBird could recognize and identify birds based on their call. Like Shazam and Midomi can recognize and identify music why can't iBird use this technology to identify birds?

Donna Hughes Saw an article in my magazine that this application you can use iPhone and iPod. Question it says in the add 800 songs 920 maps 4000 pages and 2000 photos, I'm assuming that is if you bought everything. Does anyone know how much all this would cost, and the amount of storage you would need for an iPod.

Jonathan Tourzan Guy who designed this may make an iFrog application... Do people like this idea? This won an award for 2009 at Macworld and is pretty cool. Thought my friends would like this.

Loren Fenton Ok. When you send out an update, is it really necessary to send the WHOLE program? Seems like there should be a way to just update the specific pages or portions that are affected by the change(s). Would make the download a lot faster! But then, maybe I'm just ignorant of how these things work . . . . . :) Still l...ove the app. It just keeps getting better. Keep up the good work.

Also, it would be nice if there were just a short note accompanying the updates stating just what was changed, and where and how to access the new features, and what they do! I get frustrated trying to find apparently non-existent "how-to" instructions for this otherwise awesome app.

Apple bundles the program and the database into one file and so every app in the store has this problem - the smallest change requires you download the entire app.

Regarding your second point "it would be nice if there was a short note" that tells you what was change - there is! If you tap on the update tile in the device app store it describes exactly what was changed. You can also see this if you visit the product page for iBird in iTunes. Scroll to the bottom for "whats new in this version". Here is a link to the new web version of the app store so you dont need to have iTunes to read about it.

What's New in Version 2.3
New in iBird 2.3

Fixed Observed State/Month search bug.
Fixed rare Conservation Status search bug.
Removed PRO shortcut - see FAQ for adding your own.

New in iBird 2.2

Every app now has a home page. This page shows icons for any other iBird apps you own as well as shortcuts to apps we think you may wish to know more about. If an app has an update you will see icons for higher versions with a $ badge on it.

New Backup and Restore for all apps (found in Settings) so you can save your favorites and notes. The backup is global to all versions.

New Birdipedia link uses much better content. Be sure and check it out.

Fixed a bug with single family species not returning to browse.

Some but not all songs have descriptive text rather than just simple "phonetics". This will be expanded.

Some birds have multiple vocalizations, for example see Black-capped Chickadee, American Robin and Blue Jay.

Jenifer Loving the free version of iBird, still not sure which is best for me, iBird Canada, or North America, since I'm in Southern Ontario :o birdwatching season almost here, a couple more months, maybe less, and the geese will be honking their way North again :)

David Going to be in the Yucatan April 6-12. Wondering if anyone would like to earn two free meals by showing me some cool spots to shoot some birds... preferably natural settings only. Better yet...a place to kayak with a simple Nikon Cool Pix hung around my neck.

I grew up in Yucatan and really enjoy bird Photography... You will definitely want to spend a day in Celestun. About an hour and 15 minutes from Merida. Huge colony of flamingos there... Boats are available to take a trip down the estuary with your boat driver and great collection of waterbirds down there now. After the boat ride you can drive into the little town of Celestun and eat FRESH seafood at La Playita restaurant. Awesome!
