About Backyard Birds Identification

Backyard birds are the most approachable gateway to birdwatching, with dozens of species visiting feeders and gardens daily. Our AI identifies the most common North American backyard visitors — American Robin, Northern Cardinal, Blue Jay, Black-capped Chickadee, House Sparrow, American Goldfinch, Mourning Dove, and hundreds more — from a quick photo taken through a window or at the feeder.

How It Works

Upload a clear photo of the bird at your feeder or in your garden. Our AI analyzes plumage color, body size relative to feeder elements, beak shape, and any distinctive field marks like crests, wing bars, or eye rings to identify the species accurately.
