Bird Song Websites

Cornell's free bird ID app, Merlin, has a new "Sound ID" feature. It helps you identify nearby singing birds. 

Be mindful that playing bird songs outdoors stresses birds in breeding season. A bird will perceive another bird's song as another male threatening its territory. See the American Birding Association's Ethics page below.

Non-bird Sounds

Not all nature sounds are birds! Eastern Chipmunks, American Toads, Wood Frogs and other animals also vocalize and can sound like birds.
