There’s an app for that.

A while back, I mentioned being bummed by not knowing bird songs.

Well, shortly after, I saw this news about a bird app.

“Our guiding design principles were that we needed an accurate algorithm and a simple user interface,” said study co-author Stefan Kahl in the Yang Center at the Cornell Lab, who led the technical development. “Otherwise, users would not return to the app.” The results exceeded expectations: Since its launch in 2018, more than 2.2 million people have contributed data.

I plan to download it and try it. Does anyone have any experience with it?

The paper is here.
