Besides compatibility with the iPhone X, this new expanded version of iBird Pro has been updated for the 2017 AOU (American Ornithological Union) Supplement (not all are included in this sample app). There are two new species; the Cassia Crossbill and the Sinaloa Wren. The Thayer’s Gull has been lumped as a subspecies of the Iceland Gull. Plus there are over 100 small changes, some of which are listed below. We’ve also added a new Splits History search attribute so you can see what species have been split or lumped in past years.
There are 7 new AOU changes to Families (not all are included in this sample app): Sylviid Warblers (Sylviidae) changed to Old World Babblers (Timaliidae), Leaf Warblers (Phylloscopidae) changed to Bush Warblers, Tesias and Allies (Cettidae), Grassbirds (Megaluridae) changed to Grassbirds (Locustellidae), Cardinals & Piranga Tanagers (Cardinalidae) changed to Spindalises (Spindalidae), Emberizids (Emberizidae) has a new famuly New World Sparrows and Towhees (Passerellida). Finally the family Parulidae has changed to Icteriidae. Note the family Icteriidae is monotypic, containing only a single species, the Yellow-breasted Chat (Icteria virens).
In our continuing effort to improve our illustrations and photos we have updated the following 13 species drawings with much improved composite illustrations (the full version of iBird, Plus, Pro and Ultimate has 32 new species drawings): Broad-billed Hummingbird, Broad-tailed Hummingbird, Cassia Crossbill, Golden-winged Warbler, Hairy Woodpecker, Harlequin Duck, Iceland Gull, Killdeer, Long-billed Dowitcher, Painted Redstart, Say's Phoebe, Smith's Longspur, White-headed Woodpecker.

This sample app shows one Owl of our new Owls of Mexico package, the first time we have extended the North America database to include new species. In this collection, our favorite 16 Owls of Mexico and Central America are presented in all the high-quality detail iBird is known for, including illustrations with field marks, range maps, songs and calls, photos, ID and behavior data and much more. You can s=view one of the new Owls in iBird Lite by going to Search->Illustration Update->10.03 — Mexican Owls.
Time of Day Search
The new Time of Day search feature lets you filter birds by activity intervals during day or night (Cathemeral), dawn and dusk (Crepuscular), during the day (Diurnal) or during the night (Nocturnal). Time of Day Notes which provide additional information about a species behavior are found on each species from a new Time of Day menu. The Time of Day feature is particularly useful for birders who are interested in night birding.
