Merlin Bird ID Trivia

Join us for a bird identification trivia game! The Merlin Bird ID app, developed by the Cornell Lab and powered by machine learning, will be put to the test. Can the app outperform an experienced birder and, you, our live audience? Using photos and sounds, we'll determine who can accurately identify the most bird species. This is an interactive game, so come ready to play! Throughout the game, we'll explore how Merlin “decides” on an ID. Our panelists will share their advice on how to identify tricky birds based on calls and appearance—plus, they’ll provide insights into birding during the migration season.
