The Merlin Bird app helps you identify birds you hear. #merlinapp #merlin | Get Wild

Our Video of the Week introduces you to the Cornell Lab's Merlin Bird ID app's new, groundbreaking tool: sound ID. Merlin can recognize the sounds of more than 400 species from the U.S. and Canada, with that number set to expand rapidly in future updates. What's that bird singing? Let the app listen to the song and it will tell you. Check it out and watch the video to find out how we made it happen: https://merlin.allaboutbirds.org/ | Cornell Lab of Ornithology

The Merlin is a formidable bird-hunter. To catch prey, these small falcons plough through massive flocks of birds at speeds topping 30 miles per hour!
