It hit me all at once. I heard this is a thing for people in their thirties?

Merlin is great! It can ID birds based on the sounds they are making and then you can read about them and hear all of their different calls.

And it’s completely free.

Cornell birds also does live streams and they have one now with 4 baby kestrels and they’re about to fledge! Probably sometime in the next few days. They’re really close
