Some of the apps listed here are also good at helping beginner bird watchers identify species by images.

I use Merlin Bird ID it's like Shazam for birds. Have you tried it? Not just with sounds, you can go through a quiz and describe a bird and it just gives you a list of birds that you might be describing, and the first two are often correct. Works offline, is free.

Yes. My wife has it on her iPhone. I have to play around with it more.

It is available on Android as well, I bet you'll love it. You'd be like : You know, I'm something of an ornithologist, myself..

I need to find it outside the play store for my graphene phone. I have only used it second hand because I can't bring myself to touch an iPhone. I only watch over her shoulder.

I'm afraid if I use it I'll start trimming my beard and walking around in black turtlenecks.

Merlin's one of my favorite apps. Great for both audio and visual IDs, and tracks all your sightings. It's also legit free (as opposed to freemium).

I've heard that birds evolved from snakes. This must be what they call metamorphosis. Thank you for the link.

That’s pretty cool. Kinda makes me wonder how often these apps actually get it right just by sound.
