ID app for a desktop

I was in the Pantanal in Brazil and have several dozen bird photos taken with my DSLR and now on my desktop, to identify which I can't seem to identify after searching various Brazil bird websites. I cannot use the Merlin or Cornell app as they only work on phones and not on a desktop. I don't use a smart phone. Any suggestions?

Hi dindelta,

You could purchase a book, Birds of Brazil The Pantanal & Cerrado of Central Brazil

https://www.amazon.ca/Wildlife-Conserva ... 0801476461

---------------------------

Or you could visit this website called Birds of the Pantanal (Brazil)

Yes I could buy a book but not being up on the various "types" of smaller birds, makes it very difficult to thumb through dozens of pages to find the one that matches my photo. And I appreciate you sending me that link but I have seen other similar links that have most of the same birds. Again you have to scroll through them all to find the one in your photo, assuming it is in the link, which so far for about 24 photos I have it is not.

Many years ago before Merlin went phone app only I used it for some birds here and it made it so easy to find out what they are. I will keep searching to see if there is a similar app in Brazil

Perhaps try posting your photo and ask if anyone knows the bird?

I have now identified about 75 of the Pantanal birds I photographed and am left with 39 unknowns. You can see them at https://www.flickr.com/photos/organize/ ... 0301961162

Northvanrob suggested an online Brazil bird app but they want my credit card number though they say they won't charge it. I won't take that chance.

Any identifications of any of them would be appreciated.

Hi dindelta,

There another App that might work for you called Seek by iNaturalist

It works by photo and it quickly ID's the subject!

Very good with the 75 Pantanal birds I photographed and am left with 39 unknowns.

You Flickr link does not work.

Thanks but you can't download Seek to a desktop. The link to Flicker works when I click on it but try this and go to the album, Pantanal - to be id'd . https://www.flickr.com/photos/97564353@N04
