Merlin Bird ID by Cornell Lab of Ornithology
I first discovered Merlin Bird ID by Cornell Lab of Ornithology earlier this summer, when I was trying to figure out the identity of a particular bird of prey in my neighborhood. After looking at a number of birding apps, I learned that Merlin could identify over 6000 different types of birds, by listening to their calls. Not only was I impressed by the number of bird calls that it had amassed, I also liked that Cornell is located close to Buffalo, in Ithaca, NY. In fact, in recent years, Cornell has been getting more involved with Buffalo on a number of levels. For example, each year, the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Erie County hosts its spectacular Master Gardener Plant Sale at First Presbyterian Church of Buffalo.
