Terraphone - Avian Edition
Free For A Limited Time!!!
After the success of the original, award-winning Terraphone which focuses on geology and fossil exploration, now there is Terraphone - Avian Edition!
The Avian Edition of Terraphone brings a new tool to bird-watching iPhone users - The ability to see exactly where birds are reported to have been observed!
Many people are familiar with some of the great bird field-guides that are available for the iPhone and might wonder what another bird app could possibly bring to the table. Well, Terraphone - Avian Edition is the answer.
Avian Edition's primary purpose is not a field guide...in other words, it's not simply an advanced book in iPhone form...It is an advanced viewer of millions of reported bird sightings throughout North and Central America. By using this application, you can choose a location to study then view the bird sightings that have been reported for that area, including the date and time of the sighting, the person who recorded the observation, and the comments and field notes they left.
This kind of access to actual observational data provides a level of accuracy and resolution that is critical to bird-watchers. Many applications will show you maps of a continent with colored splotches covering thousands of square miles to show you where you might find a particular kind of bird, but Terraphone - Avian Edition shows you EXACTLY where a particular bird was reported to have been found. This is tremendously helpful for finding specialized birds which prefer very specific habitats. For instance, if you want to find pelicans in Wyoming, simply knowing that pelicans have been sighted in the state will probably be insufficient to help you find one. Instead, Avian Edition shows you on a map the geographic coordinates were pelicans have been sighted to help you in your search.
This application does display a nice collection of field guide styled content, such as bird images, bird songs, continental maps with splotches (see above), bird identification data, bird breeding data, and more...but these things are not the primary goal of this application. If you are looking for a field guide, we highly recommend iBird Pro or one of the other birding field-guides for the iPhone...they are a great compliment to Avian Edition and give you a well-rounded set of bird watching applications.
Terraphone - Avian Edition also includes an interface to the physiographic conservation plans for birds from the Bureau of Land Management, as well as a nice glossary of bird-related terms. Altogether, Avian Edition is a powerful, scientific, and fun application for both casual and serious bird-watchers alike. We hope you have fun and learn a lot with this application, and we love to answer any questions or comments about this or any of our products. Drop us a note and we'll be as helpful as we can.
An internet connection is required to download observational data, but once downloaded the data can be saved for offline use.
Thanks, and enjoy Terraphone - Avian Edition.
