Resources
Birding Resources
We have compiled a few resources here that can be useful for anyone new to birding and those who are new to bird documentation. Feel free to modify the presentations to suit specific purposes and audiences. Download, edit, and customise the presentations to better suit your area.
Merlin Bird ID App
The Merlin Bird ID App is another useful tool for anyone interested in birds. Merlin’s latest India pack helps you identify over 1000 species. All you have to do is upload a photo of the bird or answer a few questions, and Merlin will suggest the most likely ID. Watch this webinar recording on how to use Merlin.
Document birds through eBird Mobile App
If you already have some experience with birds but are new to eBird, then have a look at some of the short videos and webinars on Bird Count India’s Youtube channel. Along with Merlin and the eBird Mobile App, you can start uploading your bird observations right away!
