Look What's New in Version 1.5.2
- Fixed a bug that caused the year to display as 2012 rather than the current year on the date/time selection page.
- The "checked" view now sorts by Taxonomic order. Common Gallinule will no longer appear on the bottom of the list and the Falcons will now appear in the right place!
- When you email a checklist, a csv file version is now attached. Note however, that the csv file is in a format that isn't easy to read if you happen to be a human being, so we will need to enhance this feature in a future upgrade. For example, it uses eBird's TaxonID rather than the species name. Still, the csv file feature will be helpful for a few people who want to do separate file upload.
- BirdLog North is available now for the iPhone, iPod, iPad and Android devices.

Testimonials
★ “BirdLog will fundamentally change the way we go birding,” Chris Wood, eBird Project Leader. ★
★ “I enter more checklists simply because it’s so easy, and still have more free time at home. I’ve waited for in-the-field data entry for years,” Marshall Iliff, eBird Project Manager.
★ “The ability to record real-time bird observations in the field and have them flow directly into the eBird database has huge implications, not just for birders and eBird, but for citizen-science in general,” Brian Sullivan, eBird Project Manager.
★ “BirdLog is stunning in its simplicity and efficiency. I now enter my almost daily observations in the field with greater accuracy in time, date, and numbers,” Ohio eBirder.
★This app is a must have buy - "A bit in price but well worth it. I have been looking for a app like this for a few years now. It's a time saver as well. After birding I normally go home and go on eBird and fill out my reports and it takes a extra hour for 5 spots or so. This app beats writing down your birds. The bad thing about this app is putting specie counts in in the field and you might miss a bird. Besides that this is the best thing since slice bread. What a time saver and well organized." - TheBirdman666
★Excellent! - "Great app, works well and I love that I can enter my e-bird sightings in the field now. It works even better now that you can switch tasks and come back without a crash or reset. I second the suggestion of adding miles as an option in addition to km. I also really like the function where it narrows the search to the birds that are likely for the spot I am birding in. I do wish there was a way to get this functionality to work with offline checklists." - JackMoridin
