Description

What's that bird? Ask Merlin—the world’s leading app for birds. Just like magic, Merlin Bird ID will help you solve the mystery.
Merlin Bird ID helps you identify birds you see and hear. Merlin is unlike any other bird app—it's powered by eBird, the world’s largest database of bird sightings, sounds, and photos.
Merlin offers four fun ways to identify birds. Answer a few simple questions, upload a photo, record a singing bird, or explore birds in a region.
Whether you’re curious about a bird you’ve seen once or you’re hoping to identify every bird you can find, the answers are waiting for you with this free app from the renowned Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
WHY YOU’LL LOVE MERLIN
• Expert ID tips, range maps, photos, and sounds help you learn about the birds you spot and build birding skills.
• Discover a new bird species each day with your own personalized Bird of the Day
• Get customized lists of birds you can find where you live or travel - anywhere in the world!
• Keep track of your sightings—build your personal list of the birds you find
MACHINE LEARNING MAGIC
• Powered by Visipedia, Merlin Sound ID and Photo ID uses machine learning to identify birds in photos and sounds. Merlin learns to recognize bird species based on training sets of millions of photos and sounds collected by birders at eBird.org, archived in the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
• Merlin delivers the most accurate results thanks to experienced birders, who curate and annotate sightings, photos, and sounds, who are the true magic behind Merlin.
AMAZING CONTENT
• Choose bird packs that contain photos, songs, and calls, and identification help for anywhere in the world, including Mexico, Costa Rica, South America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, India, Australia, Korea, Japan, China, and more.
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s mission is to interpret and conserve the Earth’s biological diversity through research, education, and citizen science focused on birds and nature. We are able to offer Merlin for free thanks to the generosity of Cornell Lab members, supporters, and citizen-science contributors.

Failed pack downloads gorge on roaming data

ExpatDad on

Singapore

Unless you de-select background app refresh, you will get hit with roaming data charges. I found this out the hard way on a recent trip to Halmahera. There really should be a way to use the app without pack updates in the background, especially as the new app update is still glitchy and it is not clear when packs are completely installed.

Bird packs a little confusing

Tangoting on

Singapore

Generally good but it’s frustrating when I download a bird pack to realize it was part of bigger bird pack. Would be nice if they organized it a little better

Found !

Jeemeewong on

Singapore

Identified birds though not v clear shots! And ..Singapore data pack! Best!

Field guides? Nope.

This is the best app to have graced the store since it’s inception. All hail our avian overlords. I am incredibly impressed.

Ununsable

Askmetwice on

Singapore

Saw this in action by a guide who used an earlier version, which was very good. When I downloaded this app myself and got two bird packs, nothing is working: I cannot open the entries for any bird in any pack. Downloading the packs was also very erratic in the first place, initially it didn’t work at all, and then the next day the download worked fine, with no noticeable difference between attempts. Very frustrating!
