How do I search iBird Pro by time of year?

[Twitchly]

Looking at iBird Pro v.12, build 227, I no longer see a way to search for birds by month. So even though it’s December, my searches now include birds that are only seen in my area during the summer. How do I search by month in this version?

Same question, and why no replies?

I don’t have any experience with iBird, and I don’t think many people on this forum do. I would suggest using eBird to search what birds are in your area for any time of year, using the bar charts.

Isn't that funny...🤔

If you use the explore regions option on eBirds Explore page, you can search up what birds are in your area, and then either specify a time frame or use the bar charts for all species year round in that region.

I have zero interest in starting an argument here, so please realize that this post is not for that purpose.  I realize that many here (most?) prefer their tried and true field guides.  However, I wish to state that for me, I like iBird.  It does everything I want, goes beyond what I can get with any of the several paper guides that I own, and is easier to fit into my pocket when I want something with me in the field.  It's never occurred to me to want to use it to view anything by time of year, so I can't address the topic at hand, and I suppose that could be viewed as a failing of the app.  In general,though, it's kudos from me for the authors and purveyors of iBird.
