Don't pitch your Sibley's quite yet. It identified my Northern Shoveler
as a Mallard.
However, I do agree it is cool. Must try some more.

To find/download to an iPhone or iPad, just search for "BIRDSNAP" in the App Store and it'll come up. Note: if you have an iPhone 4 or 4s, the applications's picture feature has a glitch (it doesn't show any camera buttons or exit buttons and so traps you on the camera screen; you have to close the app to get free!) which they're aware of and working to fix.
They also offer a similar free app called LeafSnap which lets you take a picture of any North American leaf and it uses facial recognition software to identify the possible trees it came from. Pretty cool.

To: ask@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Birdsnap is a free electronic field guide covering 500 of the most common North American bird species. Researchers from Columbia University and the University of Maryland developed Birdsnap using computer vision and machine learning to explore new ways of identifying bird species.
You can put in your site and it will bring up a bird list by today's date.

There is an iphone app for this but I cannot find where to download it. There was a glitch reported so maybe it was taken down until it is fixed.
