Cool Way to Birdwatch in the Maritime Forest!

Recently, a fan of the Maritime Forest had a great suggestion for those of us who can’t tell one bird from another. It’s called the Merlin Bird ID app and you can download it to your phone easily on the Apple or Google Play store. Simply open the app and then the app will interpret the chirping nearby and pop up a photo of the bird you are near! The Merlin Bird ID app, developed by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, is a free mobile app that helps users identify birds using various methods. It offers features like Photo ID, Sound ID, and step-by-step identification based on bird characteristics. The app is powered by eBird’s extensive data and utilizes machine learning to enhance identification accuracy.
