iBird™ Lite Guide to Birds Version 10.06 contains a sample of 53 species found in our advanced iBird Plus, Pro and iBird Ultimate apps. iBird Lite is intended to provide a demo of our paid apps which have the full 946 species found in North America. Completely up to date with the 2017 AOU checklist, iBird Lite contains all the features of the full paid apps, but not all the species. It will help you learn what a fascinating hobby birding can be.
iBird Lite also takes a major leap forward with “Time of Day” filtering available in version 10.03. You can now search for birds by activity levels during day or night (Cathemeral), dawn and dusk (Crepuscular), during the day (Diurnal) or during the night (Nocturnal).
