iBird Yard+ Guide to Birds
iBird Yard Plus is a compact North American bird guide with 270 described species.
Choose it for learning common yard birds through pictures, sounds and searchable traits.
Species pages combine illustrations, photographs, range maps and recorded calls in a self-contained database.
Keep in mind: The description explicitly references a 2017 checklist, so taxonomy and names should not be treated as current; it is not a global guide.
