Citizen science done well yum yum
This is my favorite program on my phone. I use it very frequently.
I have this app installed on my phone. It is pretty neat being able to sit by the fire pit and identify birds chirping in the woods near the house.
I was really excited to try this to try and figure out what the squeaky bird hiding in a tree by my window was, but it's not picking up anything (gives a pop up about how google assist interferes, but I've never had that enabled on my phone so I can't do much else) :(

About
Biodiversity is a term used to describe the enormous variety of life on Earth. It can be used more specifically to refer to all of the species in one region or ecosystem. Biodiversity refers to every living thing, including plants, bacteria, animals, and humans. Scientists have estimated that there are around 8.7 million species of plants and animals in existence. However, only around 1.2 million species have been identified and described so far, most of which are insects. This means that millions of other organisms remain a complete mystery.
Over generations, all of the species that are currently alive today have evolved unique traits that make them distinct from other species. These differences are what scientists use to tell one species from another. Organisms that have evolved to be so different from one another that they can no longer reproduce with each other are considered different species. All organisms that can reproduce with each other fall into one species. Read more...
