    This is great for people who really want to hone their bird ID skills. Just plugging this for beginners to the hobby: Merlin by Cornell is great for easy bird ID, audio now included. https://merlin.allaboutbirds.org/

    I would love an “easy mode” that gave like 4 birds multiple choice. I think that would work better on a phone anyway.

    This is cool! I'm not sure why the pandemic increased people's interest in birdwatching, but it certainly did with me. But then I moved to a new state and lost all my new bird knowledge. I'll definitely be using this to learn about my new surroundings.

    This is great! Really creative use of different data sources.

    If you prefer paper quizzes, you might enjoy "What Bird Am I", where birds have five clues to establish their identity.
