Birder’s Diary Mobile for Android – Download App

We are offering the Birder’s Diary Mobile App for download on our site as opposed to the Google Play Store. Why? The amount of effort required to maintain a Play Store account along with the red tape and constant management is more effort than it is worth for this Free companion App to Birder’s Diary. It turns out that this method is just as easy and much simpler to manage and maintain.
