Editor's Review
Merlin Bird ID by Cornell Lab is your go-to app for identifying birds with ease. With features like photo ID, sound ID, and a handy bird guide, it's like having a bird expert in your pocket. What sets Merlin apart is its impressive accuracy in identifying birds from just a photo or a snippet of their song. I've used it on hikes and in my backyard, and it's genuinely transformed my birdwatching experience. However, the app can be a bit overwhelming for beginners due to the vast amount of information it provides. If you're passionate about birds and want a reliable tool to deepen your knowledge, Merlin is a must-have. But if you're just starting out, you might find it a bit too much to handle at first.Features
