Just answer three simple questions about a bird you are trying to identify, and Merlin will come up with a list of possible matches.

Merlin offers quick identification help for all levels of bird watchers to learn about the birds across the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania.

Bird ID by Photo

Snap a photo of a bird, or pull one in from your camera roll, and Photo ID will offer a shortlist of possible matches. Photo ID works completely offline, so you can identify birds in the photos you take when you are far from cell service.

Results based on millions of eBird sightings

Merlin Bird ID draws upon more than 900 million observations from the eBird citizen-science project. Merlin customizes your list to the species you are most likely to have seen at your location and time of year.

Photography is the story I fail to put into words.

ABOUT
DIRK BECKERS

Dirk Beckers is a hobby wildlife & nature photographer living in Antwerp (Belgium). Fujifilm is mostly the gear I prefer but sometimes Nikon has a place in my bag. Aside from some exposure, sharpening, noise reduction and basic colour corrections, I don’t spend much time post-processing my photos. I believe that good photographs are accomplished outdoors, in the field, and not in front of the computer. That’s the essence of my photography. For more about me click here.

BIRD
IDENTIFICATION

Please be aware that I’m not an expert in Ornithology. I’m using the Merlin app from The Cornell Lab for bird identification, but if you think that there are still some mistakes with the names of the birds, please feel free to contact me. I will be happy to make the necessary corrections!
