I will never not be amazed at the Sound ID feature. And I have spent a concerning amount of time trying to fake a bird call good enough to fool the app. It is my White Whale
I got a great horned owl on accident. It was my paper crinkling. First time I used sound ID.
Some folks are just born with it, I guess
Love this app. Shout out to fellow birders out there.
No joke about a month ago I found out about that app, and now I'm obsessing over bird feeders and trying to run away house sparrows. This app is DANGEROUS, it's probably more addictive than cocaine.
This is the way.

While yes it has a bird sound ID, you can also use it to ID birds visually by giving your location and answering a few questions, after which it gives you a list of birds from the most probable to least.
Got like all my redneck family members to download this and they love it so much
Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
brb looking at birbs
It's fucking so incredibly cool. WE use it all the time just in our backyard when we hear or see a new bird.
Anyone know of any other good similar apps? I've tried multiple plant ID apps over the years but none I'd recommend.
For plants, PlantNet works very well for me.
I use Seek by iNaturalist. It's working well.
Seconded
I use this all the time, it is fantastic.
Whatever makes you flappy
Well what do you know... I just saw a new bird in my backyard, never seen this particular fella before, wondered what type of bird it is.
