Haven't tried iNaturalist yet, but I love Merlin Bird ID [1] and Flora Incognita [2]. The latter seems to be exceptionally accurate (over 80% up to 98% depending on the dataset) [3]. They also expose an API for "registered external clients" [4], but so far I sadly wasn't able to find any further documentation on it.
A problem I often have with Merlin is that the birds seem to know when I record them, and promptly stop singing...

- tamimio 6mo agoMerlin, ebird, rock identifier, and inaturalist are some of the great apps to use while out in nature.
- mlrtime 6mo agoSame, but I use birdnet-go. For anyone who has cameras outside with a rtsp stream, it is incredibly easy to setup a real-time bird monitor around your property. It's amazing what species it will detect every day. I'm looking for the same thing for insects but haven't found one. I want to know all the things I'm hearing.
