Go Birding AI

Where should you go birding today? Open Go Birding AI and it answers the moment the app starts: the best hotspots near you right now, ranked by distance, how many species they've recorded, and fresh rare-bird reports. GOOD SPOTS RIGHT NOW Your Home screen is a short list of places worth going today, each with one clear reason: a rarity reported this week, a species-rich refuge, or a saved favorite close by. NEVER MISS A RARITY Rare and notable sightings near you, newest first, with how long ago and how far away. Reports that haven't been reviewed yet are clearly marked "Unconfirmed." SEE WHAT'S HERE THIS WEEK Open any hotspot to see the birds reported there over the past week, its rare birds, what usually occurs each season, directions, and links to checklists. JUST ASK Speak or type the way you'd ask a friend: "beaches near me," "warblers in May," "owls near Cape May." Search understands species, seasons, habitats, towns, and distance, and an on-device AI guide explains the top pick in plain language. EVERY HOTSPOT, ONE MAP More than 19,200 birding hotspots across all 50 US states and 7 Canadian provinces, built into the app. Search by species, filter to your saved spots, and tap any pin for details. PLAN AROUND WIND AND TIDES Weather, hourly forecast, sunrise and sunset, and 48-hour tides, with daylight low tides marked as best for shorebirds. PRIVATE BY DESIGN The AI guide runs entirely on your iPhone. There's no account, no ads, and no tracking. Your location is used only to find spots, sightings, and weather near you. MADE FOR THE FIELD Large, high-contrast text, voice search for hands-free use, and a guide that speaks only when you ask. Requires iOS 18 or later. iPhone 15 or newer recommended for the AI guide.
