bird song ID website?

4 years ago

I am looking for a website that will help me identify my neighborhood birds by their song. We are surrounded by trees so I can't see them but there are so many different songs. I know the mockingbird's repetoire, the dove, the cardinal and the blue jay. Is there a website that will help with this? I'm in Southeast Coastal Georgia. Thanks.

I went ahead and joined i-Naturalist and so far it is working really well. It is a lot faster submitting sightings than BAMONA. So far I am just adding photos I already had online starting with the most recent and working my way back. It seems other people are very quick to "agree" with most of my sightings to make them "research grade". I also got some quick ids on things I wasn't sure of. Obviously the ones that are a little harder to id won't happen as quickly. When I'm done I'm going to go in and add things to my life list that I have seen, but have no photo of. Those are not considered research grade, because there is no proof for others to confirm. Just like BAMONA, there are not many sightings on there for my county so I will be able to add a lot to that list. If I used a smart phone with a good camera and gps turned on I imagine that would make the process even easier using their app while away from home. My camera is not something I would carry around all the time and doesn't have gps so I have to add the location manually, but it does let you add the location to a whole batch of photos at once so that is nice. Also the majority of my sightings are at home so that makes it easier too. It is pretty cool watching my list grow as I add more pics. Many of the people helping with ids will add helpful comments on distinctive markings to look for and such. I highly recommend it to any other list making nerds!

I did have a Chipper nest of 3 Chippers and one Cowbird.....didn't notice till it was too late. All 4 babies fledged. I did notice that more Chippers than just the 2 parents were feeding these babies. Quite a few in fact. SO (not that I like these birds) but it does not necessarily mean all the other nestlings died.

Help IDing bird call?

That is the webcam, Claire. Here's a recording of the bird call in question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BrtpkKZGCM&feature=youtu.be. (kudos to Raptor Resource Project for the webcam!) I've helped prairiefirewind with bird IDs in the past, but this song has me stumped. The call comes just after Mom Decorah's first squeeing, very near the beginning and ending at the 39 second mark. Thank you for your help, Claire!
