Your next lifer is probably closer than you think.

The Radar

A quiet map. Only the birds you haven't seen.

Pick a spot, set a radius, choose a time window. The radar cross-references recent sightings with your life list and shows only the hotspots that would actually move your count.

✓Hotspots ranked by lifers, not noise.
✓5 / 10 / 30 km radii, 7 / 30 day windows.
✓Tap a pin to see what was spotted and when.
✓Red pins have lifers spotted there. Blue pins are hotspots with birds you've already seen. Still worth a visit.

How it works

It takes about a minute.

No complicated setup. Try it first, add your data when it clicks.
