All Birds Colombia field guide

Trying to get to grips with the number of species that Colombia has is daunting for the best of us. Having them grouped into easy-to-recognise families is a big help for me. I can study up on a different group a day and also get to where I need to be to look something up quickly. Decent diagrams and distribution maps. It takes up space but there’s a huge amount of information. Looking forward to treasure-hunting with it again when travel is allowed once more.

I had high hopes for this app, but found it difficult to use. It has an amazing catalogue of bird species with lots of useful information on each bird, but the search mechanism makes it difficult to find anything. A few changes would greatly improve the functionality. First , the filter mechanism should start with the most important and basic details, like bird size and primary overall colors. Second, as the user adds variables to the filter, it should narrow the choices, not expand them. The more specific the user is, the fewer choices they should see. The way it currently functions, if you put in 3 variables, you end up with over 1,000 options to search through, which will include birds of ALL sizes. It makes it impossible to identify birds you’re unfamiliar with.

Very good photos and tons of supporting information for everyone of the 1700+ birds in Columbia. Very thorough well organized but still much slower to use for me than a bird book but I am pretty new to using Bird apps. Does not have filters for parts of the country. The author wrote one of a few excellent bird books about Columbia, but it’s out of print and cost $80 if you can find it.

It’s been eight years since I was in Colombia. I still use the app to try to figure out what some of the birds I saw were. It’s a great birding companion. Thanks!

Easy to use and to jump to a specific species quickly. Audio files for most species with sonograms. Excellent artwork for identification showing multiple variations for certain species.

I was hesitant to spend so much on an app but this app has extensive info about the birds of Colombia with songs/calls, maps, status info, habita, sim species and even sorting methods that let you narrow by endemics plus eng latin and spanish names. So worth it!

the app is easy to use. some of the drawings are a little silly but they’re accurate so it’s fine.

I am prepping for a trip to Columbia this winter. I have found the format to be both easy to use and helpful, as I work through several additional apps. I have noticed a few name changes that may need to be updated. Using other apps I can review pictures and confirm their real time locations. This app has been most helpful in giving me a better understanding of the bird species that this North American birder is not yet familiar with. I recommend this app. I have enjoyed working through and attempting to become familiar with the birds I hope to see on this trip.

I downloaded this app prior to visiting Medellin area. The bird database is very comprehensive and I was able to identify species quickly and easily using the identification feature of the app. This is definitely an app for people who seriously love birds.

Very well designed app giving instant access to images and descriptions to the birds of Columbia. Much better than carrying a heavy bound paper guide in the field!
