Picture Bird: Bird identifier

authentic rating

People identify birds by photo and song, and some learn to recognize birds in real life from it, while others use it in wildlife rehab. But sound ID visibly jumps around, the same bird gets three different names, photo ID is wrong for many, and the comparison with Cornell's free Merlin is unflattering, plus the paid subscription is hidden behind a tiny cross.
