Merlin Bird ID is a free app from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology that helps people identify birds by photo, sound, or simple questions. When users record bird calls or log sightings, their observations contribute to eBird, supporting real research on bird populations, migration, and environmental change. Merlin turns everyday bird encounters—day or night—into meaningful contributions to bird conservation.
