At last, all of your birding lists together in one place.
Tired of having the lists of your birding trips and sightings scattered here and there?
SWIFT keeps all of your sighting information together, letting you compare
your lists year-to-year and season-to-season.
The SWIFT main screen displays all of your key birding information for your lists/locations. This information includes:
One of the most important features in any birder listing software is how quickly you can enter your sightings. SWIFT has multiple methods for entering your sightings more quickly than you ever could before.
Every other listing software on the market requires you to type in part or all of a species name, very tedious and time consuming. With SWIFT, you can choose from checking birds off in the checklist, copying existing (similar) sightings as a starting point and then modifying them slightly or using some or all of the more common species SWIFT has kept track of as your 'regulars' for a given list.
If you are one of the growing number of birders who take their digital camera into the field with them, you likely have hundreds or thousands of pictures of the birds you have seen.
There is no better way to organize your birding pictures right along your sightings than in SWIFT.
Unlike every other birding software that only allows an exact duplicate of your original photo, with SWIFT you can resize, crop and pan your photos right in the software. As you can see in the screenshot below, you can position the bird anywhere inside the frame, so it will appear just the way you want in SWIFT. Don't worry about affecting the original you have on file, SWIFT takes its own copy so your original remains unchanged.
Your photos are displayed throughout SWIFT. When entering new sightings, if you hover over a species name, a saved photo will appear alongside.
Looking back through your recorded sightings from the past months or years? Your photos will appear there as well, a great memory of your birding trips.
Photos also show up in species-specific reports.
SWIFT makes it easy to let others know what you have seen.
Every checklist and report can be easily exported to Excel by simply clicking on Export to CSV. Easily pass your sightings to your local birding group, forum, internet sightings board, etc. by exporting into a format read by every computer and emailing it.
The displayed listing is copied to your Documents folder in Windows and can be opened in Excel or multiple other programs.
If you simply want to copy the displayed list of species as straight text from SWIFT into another application, click on Copy to Clipboard.
The displayed listing is copied to your clipboard and ready to be pasted into any text editor or other program.
Your sighting records are safe the moment you put them in SWIFT.
Do you have your sightings on paper, multiple computer files, internet websites or free shareware software? Why take a chance with all of your years and years of sighting records? Store them in SWIFT with built-in backups for all of your sightings, notes and photos.
Get peace of mind knowing you are securing your sightings and photos in SWIFT, birding software that has been around for 15 years.
