Been using Merlin Bird ID by Cornell Lab for a couple months now. It’s basically a free app that helps you figure out what kind of birds you’re seeing. Pretty solid if you’re into bird watching or just curious about the feathered friends around your neighborhood.
Here’s what you do: you can answer some simple questions about the bird, upload a photo, or even record the bird’s song. Merlin’s got a huge database and it’ll give you info on the species, like what it looks like, where it lives, and what kind of sounds it makes. There’s also an option to explore birds in your local area – that’s been really handy for me.
Look, if you’re into birds or just want to learn more about the wildlife around you, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – the UI can be a bit clunky at times – but overall it does a great job and it’s free, so it’s worth checking out.
