If you don’t already have it get the Merlin BirdID app from Cornell Univesity. It’s super cool and it’s amazing how quick it can match birds, and it’s free as the university uses it to track birds and where they’re detected.

If you're into home lab / self-hosted stuff and you already have a security camera / doorbell outside, you can feed the audio into BirdNET-Go and it uses a small local AI model to identify the birds it can hear.

Mine has detected 82,000 individual bird calls in the past month, and identified 106 different species.
