To use Bird ID:
Bird ID is a feature that helps Birders identify a bird. With it you can enter some characteristics about a bird you've observed such as a dominant color or tail shape and get a list of likely matches based on those characteristics, your location, and the current date.
From the Home Screen tap "Identify a Bird" or tap the bird icon in the top left hand corner of "Field Guide"
Enter in any observations about the bird: size, color, type, activity, habitat, voice, wing shape, and/or tail shape. To narrow the results further enter the state or province you saw the bird in and what month you saw it in.
At the bottom of the screen you’ll see a live-updating list of species that match your description. This list is sorted by commonality for your given state and month of the year, with the most common birds at the top.
Tap "See All" and scroll through the list to find the bird you saw. If you are still unsure it helps to tap into each species and look through the photos to complete your ID.
*Tip: You can use Bird ID to search for birds in many different ways. For example, if you are planning a trip to Florida in June, you can select "Florida" and "June" from the state/month menu at the top, and immediately see a list of birds common to Florida in that month, sorted with the most common birds on top.
