Merlin App Sound ID Tutorial

Interested in learning about birds but a bit overwhelmed by how many sounds and calls there are to memorize? I hear ya! If you aren't yet familiar with the Merlin Bird ID app by Cornell, I highly recommend downloading it. It's available on Android and iOS.

Merlin recently updated/developed its sound ID capabilities, and it is a very slick application that not only records but identifies songs and calls in real time! The sonograph is a fun visual for those who are visual learners.

I am not at all affiliated with Cornell or the Merlin app. I'm just a #nearsightednaturalist who is passionate about birds!
