Feel free to share your photos and other birding-related content here. If a photo you post isn't yours, please credit the original creator! Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.

I literally do this most mornings with my cup of coffee . The Merlin app was such a delightful find 😊

I see. I came across it but couldn't really figure out their license so I went with whoBIRD from F-Droid. It's not as flashy as Merlin, but it works well at identification. That's all it does!

I think the app is proprietary, but it is run by a non-profit.

Just to be more specific, it's run by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology
