I've found having my phone along when birding invaluable for recording, as suggested here, as well as for the occasional desire to refer to my Sibley or iBird app. I used my phone just the other day to make a recording of a new and unfamiliar song in our yard, and was later able to use that to verify the species (Ruby-crowned Kinglet). I have a pretty fallible long-term auditory memory, so this was incredibly helpful, plus I was able to then double-check with more knowledgeable birders by posting the video in a Facebook group.
