Birdseye is a mobile app developing company dedicated to bringing you to the fields, to the park, your backyard, etc. with a smartphone and binoculars in hand. Working with Cornell University’s Lab of Ornithology, Birdseye (1) geographically depicts sightings of birds (both commonplace and rare), (2) allows you to log and store audio, visual and text from your findings, (3) and finds birding hotspots and target species. Observations are reviewed by local birding experts, then added to the Birdseye database; making Birdseye the most accurate and comprehensive birding app in smartphone and tablet technology.
