[cobirds] Re: Tech questions on eBird for iPad and Birdlog for iPhone

I can answer the BirdLog for iPhone question.  

In the most recent version of BirdLog (and older versions), there are two ways to do it depending on your default method for adding species to the checklist.

1. Harder way: If you switch to the alpha pad when entering a species in the search bar, then it doesn't find birds after entering an "x" because it is using that as a search term (maybe Xantus's Hummingbird would come up; let me know if you find one in Colorado, I think a few people might want to see it).  If you want to enter an "x" first you need to enter a number and a search term and find the species.  After entering numbers and selecting the species, you can click on the entered data field and remove the number you entered and replace it with an "x".  Not an elegant solution, but it works.  I used this method recently to make that happen.

2. Easier way: You can also do it another way which is scroll through the checklist and click on the species.  The pop-up window will be pre-populated with a "1".  Just change that "1" to an "x".  

If you would like imagery of all the clicks that I am suggesting, let me know and I can make a tutorial on how to do it.

Good luck and let people know if you have more questions.  There are plenty of answers out there for those who ask.
