A screen-shot from the iBird app on my iPhone.Episode 20 of my podcast, This Birding Life, is now available for free downloading at Podcast Central on the Bird Watcher's Digest website and in the Games & Hobbies and Literature categories in the Podcast section of the iTunes store.
This episode is an interview with Mitchell Waite, the creator of several database-driven websites for bird identification, and the new and very popular iPhone application called iBird. Mitch tells about his early career as a writer and publisher of computer books and how this set the stage for merging his fascination with technology and love of birds into several neat product ideas.

Thanks for listening to This Birding Life! More than 3,000 TBL episode files are downloaded each month—just from the BWD web servers, not counting those downloaded from iTunes. We're proud to be making interesting "ear candy" for bird watchers! And I welcome your comments, suggestions, and questions about the podcasts.
Thanks for posting this !
ReplyDeleteI put iBird into my iTouch and am having a blast with it.
However have no speaker capabilities with my 1st generation iTouch.
And cannot imagine carrying along a set of speakers to use.
Heck, I'm too disorganized to carry a field guide most of the time.
Thoroughly enjoy your podcasts via iTunes. And I thank you for the "ear candy".
