One of the great things about TallyZoo is seeing how people are using it. One of our clearly emerging trends: bird watchers. Bird watchers (also called birders) want easy, 1-click counting to track their passion. The simple, flexible interface of our iPhone app turns out makes it the nearly perfect app for bird watching.
“Used iPhone app recently on Audubon Christmas Bird Count, and it worked wonderfully. For a long time, birders have needed a way to keep a tally of species and individuals in the field without doing a lot of writing (dare I say, scribbling?). Now, if there was only a way to group activities (as in custom checklists) and to clear/reset activity totals in a batch, as well as to increment by voice command, this app would be perfect!”
So I decided to become a birder for a day. This morning, before my way to work (in Los Angeles) I set a goal for myself and decided which birds I wanted to try and see on my commute. Using the magic of the internet I created this bird watching list:
Perigrine Falcon, Albatross, Budgies, Emperor Penguin, Pileated Woodpecker, Scrub Jay, White-tailed Kite, Lories and Lorikeets, and a Blue-Footed Booby.
And this is how I setup and counted them using the TallyZoo iPhone app.
Bird watching and bird tracking with TallyZoo
The results speak for themselves: it is hard to find birds in LA.
1-Click Counting
With TallyZoo 1-click counting, I was easily able to count the one Scrub Jay I saw, sync to TallyZoo.com, and share my graph with my new birding friends. Now, had my experiment been a little more realistic (or I traveled all over the world looking for these birds) my TallyZoo graph might have look like this: Bird Tracking Graph
Combination Graph - Using TallyZoo for Bird Tracking
Turns out that TallyZoo is the best app for birders and keeping a birding diary
Last Note for you non-birders
The Blue Footed Booby is a real bird, and not something the internet made up. They do a dance which is, as far as I can tell, exactly how most of us here at TallyZoo dance.
* Stay tuned for app and web site updates, like Geo-tagging and mapping.

It turns out the TallyZoo iPhone app is the best app for bird watching and counting.

Last Note: The Blue Footed Boobie is a Real Bird
