Birds Around Me
  • Birds Around Me. Narrow your search to the birds you're most likely to see! BAM uses the iPad's built-in Global Positioning Satellite chip to filter out species outside your radius. Just move the pin on a map and GPS drills down to those species located around you.
  • Smart Search Engine. Lightening fast and fool-proof search results! Use MWG's patented Smart Attribute and Value Elimination (SAVE) algorithm to search for birds you want to identify, and spend more time watching the birds instead of trying to figure out how to find them.
  • Landscape and Portrait Modes Supported! View birds in unparalleled brilliance in both portrait and landscape modes. 
  • Field Marks! Identify birds like a pro! All illustrations have a Field Mark option that labels the key identifying marks of a species. And there's even a note explaining how to differentiate similar species.
  • Topographic maps. Tap a button to view the specifics for each feather group. Topographic maps detail identifiers for the head, body and flight characteristics.
  • High Definition Illustrations and Photos. All illustrations and hundreds of photographs are vividly displayed in high resolution, specifically designed for the iPad's stunning Retina display so you can see every wisp of every feather.
  • Photo Center. Take your own photos and view them alongside the ones provided with each species! A great way to enhance WGBA by making it your own. 
  • Advanced Slideshow. No other app has this incredible feature. Select the species, photos, illustrations (or both) you'd like to see, and sit back and watch the show, accompanied by each bird's song and calls. Select by almost any feature, even a singular artist, illustrator or just your own photographs.   
  • Songs and Calls. The powerful audio player shows both a wave form and a spectrogram of each bird call as it plays so you can view every detail of its amplitude and frequency domain. Plus, you can skip to any point in a clip and read the phonetic description of each bird call.
    All drawings have field marks
  • Comments. Tap a button to see what other users are saying about a particular species and leave your own comments too!
  • Dropbox. You'll never lose a favorite, note, or photo again. Dropbox is a free, cloud-based, seamless, transparent and automatic place to store your own additions to WGUK.
In addition to these great features, Waite's Guide to Birds of North America (WGBA) includes the same great features that you've grown to love in iBird:
  • Search Attributes - 35 powerful search attributes for identifying any species! 
  • Audio Recordings - Over 5 hours of bird songs and calls recorded so vividly it's as if you're hearing them in your own back yard.  
  • Spectrogram - Unique spectrographic display brings insight to the structure of bird songs.
  • Zoomable Images. All photos and illustrations are fully zoomable, using the standard pinch and swipe motions with most touchscreens.
  • Standard View modes - Compact (text only), Icon, Thumbnail and Gallery.
  • Two New View Modes - Large Thumbnail and Large
    Landscape or portrait views 
    Gallery. Thumbnails are great for the detail-inclined while Galleries are great for visual learners. 
  • Help Me Identify a Bird Forum. Just like In iBird, WGBA  connects directly to our whatbird.com forum where experts are standing by to help you ID a bird you're having trouble with.
  • iBird Journal. WGBA is also compatible with iBird journal, another great way to save your observations and Life Lists. To learn more about Journal tap or click here.
