Can an app outsmart our panel of experienced birders and a live audience? Join us online Tuesday, Jun 6 at 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time for a virtual bird ID trivia game. Using bird photos and sounds, we’ll see who can correctly identify the most species. The game involves audience participation, so come ready to play! During the game, we’ll learn how Merlin “decides” on an ID, and panelists will share their tips for sleuthing out tricky birds by sight and sound. This virtual event is free to attend, and closed captioning will be provided. Register for Bird ID Trivia Can't make the event time? Never fear.
