- Birders and curious backyard bird spotters
- Worth noticing
- The page names eBird, run by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and Birdspot players as sources for its sightings.
Field notes
The page frames location as part of the game loop: nearby reports appear on a map with how long ago each bird was seen, and the player is invited to find and photograph it. It describes separate province or state collections alongside larger Canada and USA sets. The app is presented as coming soon for iPhone, so these mechanics and the stated location practices are descriptions from the landing page, not independently demonstrated app behavior.
