• BirdFellow offers new and exciting ways to share your enthusiasm with other birders and those who have yet to discover the joy of birding. Find and connect with other birders both close to home and around the globe. Invite friends and family to share in the BirdFellow experience. Set your preferences in "My Notifications" and you'll receive e-mails alerts when others in your network have commented on your photo, added a note to our social bird guide, started a discussion, or shared a Field Report.

  "My Account" provides attractive dashboards and summaries of the activity within your network. Share and compare your lists, discoveries and experiences with others in the BirdFellow community.

  Social Networking

  

• BirdFellow offers two convenient ways to track the birds that you see. Use our Smart Lists tool, to log dates and counts and geo-reference your sightings. It’s easy! "Drop a pin" or enter GPS coordinates in "My Locations" and your favorite birding hotspots will be mapped and stored. Most importantly, Smart List entries automatically build your life list for each location and also add to the lists for the county, state, country in which you saw each bird. For those who aren't worried about recording dates, exact locations, or counts, we offer our no frills Simple Lists option.

  Listing

  

• At last, your trip reports can include all those elements that your birding friends want to see. Use BirdFellow's Field Reports to share your birding adventures in a rich combination of photos, narrative, and geo-referenced Smart Lists from multiple birding locations. Include as many photos as you please. Map locations that show exactly where you found a rare bird. Share reviews of lodging and restaurant experiences and contact information for those that you might recommend to a friend, then share your Field Report with the entire community or just those in your network.

  Field Reporting

  

• A picture is worth a thousand words! An organized collection of high-resolution photos is the centerpiece of the BirdFellow Bird Guide. We've recruited dozens of talented photographers who have shared thousands of fabulous images. We will continue adding new photos in an ongoing effort to enhance the BirdFellow Gallery that accompanies each species account. Members can contribute and archive their own photos, creating both private and public galleries. Navigate through thumbnail galleries then view photos full-screen. When you find an image that you particularly like, let the photographer know by "WOWing" their photo or adding either a public or private comment.

  Photo Storing/Sharing

  

• BirdFellow's Post a Question allows our members to ask and answer questions that supplement known information about the hundreds of species already in our database. Questions are easily accessible from every Bird Guide page.

• BirdFellow is proud to introduce the first Social Field Guide. We provide photo galleries, identification information, range maps, and more. Listen to recordings of bird songs and calls and hear the proper pronunciations of both the common and scientific names for each species. A variety of search filters and browse options are provided to help you find the bird you are trying to identify. More importantly, we’ve created a framework that allows you to contribute and share what you know. We all benefit when a community member posts a helpful ID tip or an interesting note about behavior. Working together to aggregate, originate, and curate content, we can create a living field guide that taps into our collective knowledge and experience.
