You'll never miss a chance to see that rare bird again!
On vacation? Don't worry, we've got you covered! With Birder in your pocket you are equipped to find and report any one of the 10,005 global species currently in the eBird taxonomy.
With Birder, it has never been easier to record detailed sighting information including plumage varieties and audio notes. Essential information such as time, date and location are automatically recorded, and all of your sightings are added to your Life List to help you keep track of your observations with an intuitive interface. Birder also tracks a chronological list of your sightings so that you can quickly review what you've seen recently and enter new sightings of the same species.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON GPS FUNCTIONALITY
-----------------------------------
Before using the Hive or Map features, you must first enter a sighting from the Life List or Sightings tab so that the Birder app can locate itself. In order to ensure the best possible signal, we recommend taking your GPS-enabled device outside to an area with a clear view of the sky. The Hive and Map features will not work properly until this step has been completed. Birder will work on devices without GPS, but unfortunately some of our features will not be available.

Creole Nature Trail
By BarZ Adventuresreleased on:2010-12-02T01:02:27Z
Welcome to your personal tour of Louisiana's Creole Nature Trail All-American Road! From your vehicle, the wild and ruggedly beautiful wetlands of the Creole Nature Trail appear peaceful and tranquil, but don't be fooled. Known as Louisiana's Outback, this fertile world where land and water merge is teeming with life and activity. In fact, the area supports 28 species of mammals, more than 300 species of birds and 132 species of fish, not to mention the largest American Alligator population in the United States.
From Lake Charles to the Gulf of Mexico, the Creole Nature Trail traverses more than 180 miles (including four wildlife refuges) in Southwest Louisiana. Outdoor adventures are the top draw, naturally. Oak cheniers and world-class bird and alligator populations are a natural wonder. Top-notch fishing, hunting, crabbing, boating, nature photography and other outdoor opportunities distinguish the Creole Nature Trail as a recreational paradise for all ages.
Through both audio and video content, the Creole Nature Trail is designed to bring to life this vast wilderness area. The hardy and extremely resilient people who choose to live in these wetlands. The wildlife, both land and aquatic, who thrive in this unique ecosystem, ultimately providing valuable food for the entire United States. The vast mineral resources and the underground pipeline systems which bring energy to the nation. And the almost yearly impact of hurricanes on a disappearing coastline.
For your ease and safety, the Creole Nature Trail Tour Experience is automatically activated based on your GPS coordinates regardless of whether you are driving or strolling out into the marshlands at several handicap accessible boardwalks.
Come on, experience Louisiana's Outback via your own personal guide. Or, as we in south Louisiana like to say, Laissez les bon temps rouler! (Let the good times roll!)
