[cobirds] Bird Song ID Gadget

Hi

It seems I'm frequently being asked if I know of a gadget that could be pointed at a singing bird that would ID the songster.

I recently called the Laboratory of Ornithology and was put through to the Wild Bird Store associated with the Lab and was told "not yet, they are working on it." Apparently the technology is available and it is just the question of adapting the technology to bird songs and then to a gadget. If you are interested in how the technology works try the app "Soundhound" where you can point the iPhone to the radio playing a song and it will uncannily tell you the name of the song.
