image credit

Merlin Bird Photo ID is an app and program made by Cornell Lab of Ornithology and California Institute of Technology. The program will be able to identify 400 of the most frequently occurring birds of North America - with just a picture.

Upload a picture of a bird. Draw a box around the bird in the photograph, then click its eye, beak and tail. Provide information on the location, date, and time if known. The app/program will then identify the bird in your photograph.
