Birder’s Diary

The World’s Premier Listing Software for Birders and Naturalists

Since 1995, Birder’s Diary has been providing the World’s Birding community with the latest technology, products and services, allowing birders and naturalists to maintain detailed records of their sightings.

Welcome birders and nature enthusiasts! Are you an avid bird watcher looking to record your sightings data in a convenient and organized way? Look no further than Birder’s Diary! With this specialized software, you can easily track and catalog your bird sightings, access a wealth of birding resources, and connect with other birders in the community.

Birding is an incredibly rewarding hobby, but keeping track of all the birds you’ve seen can be a daunting task.

That’s where bird listing software comes in, offering a streamlined and user-friendly approach to documenting your sightings.

Birder’s Diary contains both a comprehensive desktop program and a mobile app (in-field data recording assistant that records everything about every sighting and more).

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, birding software can help you take your hobby to the next level. Say goodbye to messy spreadsheets and scattered notes, and hello to a more efficient and enjoyable bird watching experience. So grab your binoculars and let’s dive into the world of bird listing software!

You need to look no further, this is THE CADILLAC OF ALL LISTING PROGRAMS.
No one else can compare to the number of features and complete robustness of this solution.
You don’t stay in business for 28+ years as the #1 Solution in the World without an ever-improving feature-rich product and Best-in-Class CUSTOMER SUPPORT. No one else comes close.

“My wife and I have birded together in 42 countries since the early 1960s and I could never have kept in touch with the current worldwide taxonomic onslaught without the help of Birders Diary! It does exactly the job that I need it to do!”

The Birder’s Diary web site states that: “You will receive prompt, professional and courteous support from Birder’s Diary staff!” YAWN.. I’ve heard that line before. BUT IT IS TRUE!!!!!! I was frankly surprised and delighted also with the way you solved my problems installing Version 3.7 on my computers this morning. You clearly understand and practice what professional “Customer Service” can be. Today you made a friend for “lifer”. Thanks much for the great service!!
