Xolmis Mobile is designed for fieldwork, enabling researchers and citizen scientists to record ornithological data directly on their mobile devices. Collect ornithological data such as bird lists and counts, nest monitoring and collected specimens. Use it as your digital field notebook.
Warning
This project is in the early stages of development, so expect bugs and breaking changes.
🕊️ Xolmis is a genus of Neotropical passerines. Today it is represented by two species: Xolmis irupero and Xolmis velatus.

- Creation of detection (bird individuals or groups) lists, allowing to repeat species (e.g. using Distance method). Types available:
- Detection Transect.
- Detection Point Count.
- Spot mapping.
- Use the location services of the device to collect points of interest for species.
- Collect vegetation data (Alianza del Pastizal protocols) within a list.
- Collect weather data within a list.
- Record nests and eggs data.
- Record parental care on nests.
- Record specimens collected.
- Export data to CSV, Excel or JSON files.
