Flyway Birding

Flyway Birding helps you decide where to go, what to chase, and which birds matter most right now.

Built for active birders, Flyway combines live eBird sightings with your own birding history for a faster, more personal field companion. See birds reported near you, spot notable sightings, explore hotspots, track your target species, save favorite places and routes, and check current reports against the birds you still need.

With a My eBird CSV import, Flyway turns your own eBird history into on-device list context — so you can tell at a glance whether a bird is new for you, useful for a region, or worth changing plans for.
