[Tweeters] Life list software

[via Tweeters]

Trileigh,

 

I have been using Birder's for around 25 years. It is a great piece of
commercial listing software. It allows me to input a lot of additional
information on behavior or anything else. It also has the advantage of being
able to purchase other taxonomic lists such as mammals, butterflies or even
plants. They also have and eBird tool kit to upload your sightings into
eBird if you want to do that and not enter things twice. Check them out on
the web at birdersdiary.com

Hi Tweets,

 

I know this has been discussed, but archives searches using a variety of
search terms didn't turn up those conversations. And perhaps there are new
resources at this point anyway?

 

I'd like to start filling out a life list that includes trips that go years
back. Using eBird's "List-Building checklist" option looks like it will take
approximately forever to include all the birds I have, even though my data
are far fewer than what would be ideal for eBird: looking up on maps exactly
where the sighting was, time of day for each sighting, recording each small
area on a single checklist, recording each sighting for the same species in
different locations, etc.

 

I'd love to find an app or software that includes a world checklist,
possibly organized by region (South America, Africa, etc., for instance),
which I could tick and that could generate a single long numbered list. 

 

Or perhaps eBird's option really isn't that onerous? Has anyone used it for
a project like this?

 

Thanks for any ideas. And if it's simply a matter of cranking slowly through
the eBird system one by one, then that's what I'll do, and will report back
when I'm 96.

 

Good birding (and listing) to all!

Trileigh
