Are you newer to birding? Do you have photos of birds you cannot identify? Do you wonder who is singing that bird song? Join us as we explore how to use an amazing bird identification app—Merlin. Cornell Lab of Ornithology created this app for use on your phone or computer. We will walk you through the app’s Bird ID Wizard, show you how to use the bird song and call identifier, help you figure out how to upload your photos on the app, and explore bird lists in your area and abroad.
This course will help you become familiar with the eagles, hawks, harriers, falcons, vultures, and kites that make our state their homes. We will cover the characteristics, behaviors, and biology that will help you identify these marvelous birds.
