Birding with the Merlin App

Saturday, February 3, 2024

Meet at 8 a.m. on the deck behind the building. After the class, we’ll go for a short walk to practice what we have learned.

The group size is limited, so make reservations with the trip leader. Download Merlin before the class.

Learn how to use the Merlin bird app, which will help you identify birds that you see

and hear. With the ID Wizard, you answer three simple questions, and the app will suggest what

bird you might have seen. Sound ID listens to a bird in real time and suggests who it is. And

Merlin can identify a bird from your photo. This all-in-one app is free, developed by Cornell Lab

of Ornithology.
