AI takes photos to identify birds
When you see a bird in a park, wetland, seaside or on a trip, take a photo and save it as your birding record.
Recognition results DemoThese scenes are great for filming
Saw a strange bird while walking in the park
Take photos of the side, head and roosting environment to get possible names and similar birds first.
Documenting local birds while traveling
Save birds, plumage colors and activity environments in different locations as your own travel observations.
Bird watching in wetlands or seaside
Focus on photographing long legs, beak shape, body shape and waterside environment to distinguish wading birds from seabirds.
After I photographed the shadow of a bird in the distance, I wanted to go home to confirm.
For long-distance photos, you can first look at the wing shape, tail feathers and overall outline, and then make a careful judgment based on the results.
Create your own birding guide
String together each discovery with time, place and notes to create a long-term record.
What's in the result
- Possible bird species and common names
- Plumage color, wing spots, tail feathers and body proportions
- Beak shape, leg length and perching posture
- Flight outline, foraging behavior and call notes
- Waterside, tree canopy, meadow or urban environment
- Comparing similar birds
- Record of shooting location and time
Common identification examples
Egret
Distinguish wading birds such as pond herons and herons based on their all-white feathers, long necks, long legs, and shallow water foraging environment.
Magpie Magpie
Look at the black and white feathers, long tail and foraging posture on the ground, and judge based on the urban or forest edge environment.
Sparrow Sparrow
Look for small body size, brown markings, short beaks and group movements, and note the differences between different sparrows.
Kingfisher
Look at the bright blue-green feathers, short tail, long beak and perching posture near the water.
Seagull Gull
Judging from wing shape, gray and white feather color, coastal environment and flight posture, the color of young birds may vary greatly.
Rock pigeon
Look at the urban environment, gray-blue plumage color, wing spots and body size, and compare it with similar birds such as turtle doves.
How to shoot to make it easier to identify
Try to capture the sides, head, beak and tail feathers
These parts can help identify bird species and are more valuable than just taking pictures of distant black shadows.
Long-distance photos crop the subject but retain enough sharpness
Excessive magnification will distort feather color, wing spots, and beak shape.
Recording the environment helps with subsequent judgment
Water's edge, tree canopy, grassland, coast or urban eaves can all affect interpretation of results.
Do not go near nests or breeding grounds
Bird watching records should be recorded without disturbing the birds.
Things to note
Birdwatchers should avoid disturbing birds, nests and breeding grounds. Do not feed, drive or approach wild birds for the purpose of taking photos.

FAQ
Can you identify a bird in flight?
If the photo is clear and the outline, wing shape, or plumage color is obvious, it can provide clues; motion blur can affect judgment.
Can I save a birding list?
Yes. You can organize your discovery records by bird, location, and time.
