Twitcher

Free, no ads, collects nothing. Open source at https://github.com/waaGB/twitcher *Show recent bird sightings near you, directly from eBird.* Twitcher reads your GPS position and lists what has been reported nearby in the last week. Each species gets a rough silhouette so you can tell a gull from a warbler without squinting. A second section occasionally appears if anything locally unusual turns up. It won’t identify a bird for you. No photos, no sound recognition. It simply tells you what other people have seen where you are standing, which is sometimes enough to work out what just flew by. *WIDGET NEEDS A FREE eBIRD API KEY* 1.
