Please note that polls were visible for the LIVE event and are not shown in the recording.

Join us for a bird ID trivia game and learn some new bird identification tricks! The Cornell Lab’s Merlin Bird ID app is powered by machine learning. Can an app outsmart experienced birders and a live audience? Using bird photos and sounds, we’ll see who can correctly identify the most species. The game involves audience participation, so come ready to play! During the game, we’ll learn how Merlin “decides” on an ID, and panelists will share their tips for sleuthing out tricky birds by sight and sound.

Fascinating! I've been using Merlin's sound ID for a few months now, and am absolutely stunned with its ability to recognize ONLY bird sounds (not my dogs barking, or traffic noise). AND, it seems to pick out Northern Mockingbirds amid the multiple bird species that visit our feeders (NW Georgia, USA)

That was a really cool and creative idea for an event! Thank you :)

Terrific game. It would be really nice if credit was given to the sound recordists as it was to the photographers.

This was fun! I enjoyed this virtual event.

This is really cool. There's a feature I wish the Cornell avian sites offered. When you explore birds you can view "similar birds" by how they appear. I wish they did the same with bird sounds. There are many bird sounds by different species that seem similar, and I wish I could compare when I'm a bit stumped on a bird that could be a couple of different things to my ear.

When we listened to the mockingbird, we were told it was one bird. But Merlin didnt have that input!

Your app is amazing the down part is that it does not show when the bird usually comes out like does it come out 5:00pm or 5:00am i hope you add this to your app ty

Very cool; Ian was really impressive. The land acknowledgement at the start was so cringe.
