BackyardBirds
Track sightings. Build your list. Capture what you’ve seen.
A simple birding companion for recording sightings, building your life list, and tracking meaningful observations.
Overview
Backyard Birds was built from a simple need: to keep track of what you’ve seen, where you saw it, and whether you captured it.
What started as notes and checklists evolved into a structured way to record sightings, build a personal collection, and track progress over time.
The focus is not on adding features, but on making it easy to log, review, and return to your observations.

Every element supports the core goal: record what you’ve seen, and return to it later.
