No continent supports a bigger and more varied bird population, more than 3,000 species belonging to more than 90 families are presented in this app.This is the only app that describes all the species of birds regularly found in South America! All bird names are included in English, Latin. and the major languages spoken in South America (Spanish, Portuguese, French) as well as in many other languages, including Japanese, Chinese, Russian, etc.In addition to the bird descriptions and images the app presents an ornithological dictionary with almost 300 special terms and their explanations as well as high-quality drawings and explanations of bird anatomy and topology in English and Spanish.The current app contains descriptions of more than 3,040 bird species. In order to keep the app size to a reasonable limit for downloading the app code, no pictures are included when you download the app from the store. You can download the available pictures from an external source at any time for an individual species, the entire family or all images at once.This version of the app contains more than 5,000 bird images, only 10 species are currently without image! The images are downloaded from an external server using a function inside the app, there are no new versions of the app required, if images are updated or added, or if any descriptions in the database are changed.Apart from the initial downloading of the full pictures the app runs completely offline, there is no need for an internet connection during usage of the app (except for the backup/restore operations for Field Notes to/from the server).
