Birder’s Diary ScreenSaver

The ScreenSaver feature is new as of version 6.1.

This feature taps into any photos you saved in Birder’s Diary by attaching them to Sightings.

Based on your settings for the ScreenSaver, it will cycle through all photos matching the specified Rating (new in v6.0), as well as optional Start/End Dates.

It’s a great way to relive a lifetime of birding and photography and remember your trips. You can set it up just to play your more recent trips, last year, or any time you like.
