Merlin app. I love it. It even worked without wireless, which I do not understand. But I've been able to use the song and note identifier without any wireless connectivity available, such as on remote trips.

There are snail kites seen along the Withlachoochee River. That’s a great photo of a bird not often seen. For those unfamiliar with the snail kite, it eats only apple snails.
