D'>This was c --00163649a6c3c2864704986cc610 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hi again, Thanks Tuma -- I also have iBird Pro, and after reading your note I realized you can do that. If you turn on Location Services in the iPhone, it can record where you are at the time. I haven't used it so far. What I now sometimes do is enter data into eBird (I have the website bookmarked as an app on my iPhone home screen), and use the option to e-mail the report back to myself, and I can then forward it to NatureNS etc. I also bought the iPhone app version of the Sibley Guide, which I think is better than iBird pro for visual ID. Both are similar for playing bird vocalizations. Each has its pros and cons. I also have one called Birds of N.Europe, as I travel to the UK from time to time.
