I am developing a really nice little library of birdsongs captured by my Ring cameras. Sometimes I can see and recognize the bird, but not always. I have a serious problem remembering calls to compare them with recordings online. That’s odd, considering that I’m a musician, but it is what it is. Any…

In india the Merlin app is great - It not only has great range of calls but beautiful pictures as well Birds of the Indian Sub-continent - ebook has calls / songs but the new version available on the google playstore seems to be missing the calls.

Main thing that is kinda amazing for me from…

Can you provide advice on the sharing of a BirdNET recording to iNat? (I use an iPhone 7.) I went through the various settings on both apps and couldn’t see a way. The iNat app doesn’t seem to allow uploading of existing audio recordings, just real-time recording observations.

I’ll add to @psweet ’s comment. We learn to recognize human “voices” i.e. many of us can identify people we know just be their voice. It doesn’t matter that they always say exactly the same sentences. Likewise a conductor would know an oboe from a clarinet regardless of the song. A mistake beginn…

I think in the iPhone you would need to add existing recordings to an observation using the web app. I don’t know how birdnet works, but if you can save or move the audio clip to your iOS Files utility, you can then select it to upload on the web app. It feels clunky, but it works (assuming you c…
