  • I don't know of a gamified version (but would love to see one), but for help identifying, validating, and tracking sightings you may find the Merlin app from TheCornellLab useful.

    • Oh, I definitely use and love the major apps. I was thinking more in terms of repetition and reward to aid memorization.

      There are numerous birds i can identity by sight or sound rather easily, but... I still struggle with mixing many smaller finch sized birds; females and juveniles against similar colored males of another species; and how numerous calls sound very alike.

      Having an app to drill and test me would be wonderful.

    • Merlin is never able to figure out my location so I've been using Audubon.

  • Seek is probably the closest to what you're describing, but it's not just for birds.

    iNaturalist has a gamified element to it as well, but it's pretty barebones. It's basically just "These are popular things in your area that you haven't found yet" and when you find them, they just drop off the list silently.

    • I love seek to identify plants. I had gotten really good at it using it

    • This app looks exactly along the lines I was thinking. Even though it's broader, I think I may love it nonetheless.

      Bonus, maybe it's something I can do together with my kids as well. Time to give it a go.

      Thanks!
