Apps
There are a number of great apps on the market to help you identify the plants and birds in your yard.  Most are free or very reasonably priced. All are available in the App or Google Play stores. Here are a few of our favorites:

iNaturalist - iNaturalist is a joint initiative of the California Academy of Sciences and the National Geographic Society. The app allows you to record your observations, crowdsource identifications, and maintain a life list while providing valuable community science data for scientists. 

Merlin Bird ID - Free, instant bird ID app from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.

eBird - 
eBird is among the world’s largest biodiversity-related science projects, with more than 100 million bird sightings contributed annually by eBirders around the world and an average participation growth rate of approximately 20% year over year. A collaborative enterprise with hundreds of partner organizations, thousands of regional experts, and hundreds of thousands of users, eBird is managed by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. eBird is both a website and an app that lets you record the birds you see while in the field.
​
PictureThis - Online plant encyclopedia and identifier.

Seek by iNaturalist - Use the power of image recognition technology to identify the plants and animals all around you. Earn badges for seeing different types of birds, amphibians, plants, and fungi and participate in monthly observation challenges.

PlantSnap - 
Identify plants, flowers, cacti, succulents and mushrooms in seconds with the click of a button on your mobile device.

Rockd - Rockd allows you to easily record your geological observations and uses your location to provide spatially informed suggestions for nearby geologic units, time intervals, and fossils.

Pl@ntNet - With the Pl@ntNet app, identify one plant from a picture, and be part of a citizen science project on plant biodiversity


Video resources

In September 2020, Georgia Audubon was pleased to welcome award-winning author and entomologist Doug Tallamy for a webinar. Doug shared a message of hope and talked about how we all can be part of the solution to address declining biodiversity and save birds, too.
