Yearbirder is a free desktop app that lets you explore your personal eBird sightings through sortable lists, charts, graphs, and interactive maps — all filtered any way you choose. If you're a photographer, it also organizes your bird photos alongside your sightings, so you can browse, rate, and map them the way a birder thinks.

eBird is built for collecting and sharing sightings across the global birding community. Yearbirder helps you explore your own personal sightings in depth. Create every manner of lists, compare two lists side by side, use charts and graphs to spot FOY sightings or watch your life list grow, view time and location totals, and generate Big Reports that pull together your species, dates, locations, and checklists in a single view. Yearbirder also helps you leverage the community's sightings to plan your next outing or find your next life bird.
If you're a photographer, Yearbirder can be your primary app for viewing and managing your photos. It lets you filter your photos like your sightings, so you can instantly see your photos of a species, a county, a time of year, rating, or any other filter. You can view photos in lists of thumbnails, in an intuitive enlargement view, in slideshows or plotted on interactive maps. The app also lets you rename your photo files by species name, date, and location.
If you record bird vocalizations, Yearbirder catalogs your recordings alongside your sightings and photos. Import your WAV files and the app matches them to your checklists and species, shows each as a spectrogram, and plays them back with a synchronized cursor. Filter your recordings like everything else — by species, region, date, rating, or audio properties — and plot them on interactive maps.
