  2. The "Hotspots" tab shows blue location pins on a map that represent areas birders have added sightings, this real-time sightings data is provided by eBird

  3. Move the map around to an area you would like to explore and use the "Explore Here" white rectangular button to update the blue location pins on the map

  4. Tap on a blue location pin to pull up hotspot data and then tap on a location to see the bird species sighted there
