of my big concerns about the growth in AI and bird ID apps is that all they
do is tell you what an object might be. One doesn't need to learn
behavior, field marks, jazz, and so on. Just point and shoot.
One of the things drilled into me with ID (of anything) is
"Why do you think it is X?". For me, "Merlin says" is not
acceptable.<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote"

Hmm, the loss of all neurons associated with learning to identify birds?
The death of the bird-book industry? No more bird ID classes? Roger Tory
Peterson turning over in his grave? But I presume the price of those things
won’t have much of that happening very soon.<br><blockquote
