Have you ever sat outside and wondered what the name of the bird is that is singing?    Why not try downloading the “Chirp! Bird Songs USA+” App from the iTunes store.  You can start with the birds you may hear in your yard such as, Robins, Cardinals, and House Finch.  Listen to their songs and use the Chirp App to help identify the species, as well as read background information on each bird.  It is great fun and something that you can share with others.  There is a ‘Challenge’ feature to test your own knowledge or maybe help others learn more about this popular hobby.  The slideshow option is great background option, in case you want to take a nature break from the computer or a busy day.  A cautionary note – it may drive your cat crazy!
