I don’t know much about birds, but a little while ago I downloaded the Merlin Bird ID app on my phone (Cornell University). For the few who may not know, it’s like Shazam for bird calls, and I’m having a blast as it identifies birds in my Seattle neighborhood and on trips across the Pacific Northwest. This summer, it identified a Cooper’s hawk in our backyard. Never would’ve known it was even there otherwise. ❤️ (P.S. I think every single person in the US, no matter what their profession, has a right to an opinion as to who they feel is the best candidate and why. But that doesn’t mean they and/or the candidate should be taken strictly at their word. Research is key to informed decisions, and without due diligence, our democratic process is undermined. IMHO, character, competence, and kindness should be top priorities. And women’s autonomy should never, ever, ever be on the line.)

The Merlin app is the BEST BEST BEST!
The step-by-step visual bird ID feature is also great. I used that for years before the sound ID was added.
