Our Story
Tom and Scott started collaborating on the Warbler Guide in 2009 to make learning about birds easier and more fun. Aggravated with the cumbersome process of learning from current books, they decided to make a guide from the ground up that catered to what bird watchers needed, instead of what tradition demanded. A few years later came The Warbler Guide, and it was a success!
After that, there was a lot of demand for a series of guides on other bird groups. Instead, Scott and Tom decided to keep pushing boundaries, this time in the digital world. The Warbler Guide App challenged what a bird app could be - not just a book converted into digital form, but a tool that leveraged the real power of our smartphones and tablets to help birders like never before.
Where to go next? Birdgenie, of course. Over time they'd realized that one of the hardest things for people to learn is sound, so they made an app to help. Birdgenie not only analyzes and identifies birds from recordings, it also helps the user visualize sound, and encourage them to explore that very rewarding sonic world that birds (and people!) live in.
What now? There are several projects in the works, and be assured that they will not follow the beaten path, but will instead continue to push for a better way to learn and connect with the natural world.
