RE: How I used technology this summer to learn about the wild birds in my neighborhood
I will try both apps in any case and am very curious to what extent these are regionally applicable.
I'm curious about the regional effectiveness, too. Especially since both apps come from Cornell University, in the US. I look forward to hearing about your results.
Another thing I'm curious about is whether I'll hear birds in the winter. I've never really noticed them in the past, but that could just be 'cause I wasn't paying attention.
I have now downloaded and installed both apps, but have not yet had the time or leisure to take a closer look or even try them out.
Both are also available in German language. The Cornwell University is indicated, but also German developers. I assume that they have filled the apps with local (bird) data.
I am curious and will report!
Yes, in winter I also hear birds. Especially when they warn their fellow birds because a hungry buzzard or hawk is nearby.... The cheerful chirping, which we know from spring (then because of the courtship particularly strong) and summer, falls rather away. Costs the feathered friends too much energy, when they should rather shiver themselves warmly... ;-)
