New Handheld Device Compatible With eBird

Wildlife Computing has recently released new software that runs on Pocket PCs called Pocket Bird Recorder.  In addition to keeping bird lists, it is fully compatible with eBird data collection techniques, allowing users to gather meaningful data in the field using eBird's standardized protocol options.  Keep your sightings in the field electronically on any of the many Windows Mobile Pocket PC devices, HP iPaq, Dell Axim, etc.  Many cell phones, such as the Treo w series offered by Sprint, Verizon, and T-mobile, are compatible with Pocket Bird Recorder. After you’ve entered your sightings, the PBR program downloads and converts all your sightings and locations to a csv file stored on your computer.  After importing this file to eBird all your locations and bird sightings transfer rapidly into your eBird stats, and are then visible on the 'My eBird' pages.
