Our Video of the Week introduces you to the Cornell Lab's Merlin Bird ID app's new, groundbreaking tool: sound ID. Merlin can recognize the sounds of more than 400 species from the U.S. and Canada, with that number set to expand rapidly in future updates. What's that bird singing? Let the app listen to the song and it will tell you. Check it out and watch the video to find out how we made it happen: https://merlin.allaboutbirds.org/ | Cornell Lab of Ornithology

There's so much more to birds than just identifying them. With a little training in how to interpret bird body language and behaviors, you can transform your birdwatching and open up a rich new connection with nature. For all you lifelong learners out there, Cornell's Bird Academy has created the new online course "Think Like a Bird: Understanding Bird Behavior."
