★ ★ ★ iBird Photo Sleuth Overview

       

What is iBird Photo Sleuth? iBird Photo Sleuth is an app that uses machine learning to identify any bird of North America from a photograph, regardless of the photo’s quality. The app has been trained by over 2 million photos of bird species to ID birds with uncanny accuracy. It can be used in the field without an internet connection and provides a list of top 3 guesses with a confidence value for each. The app also includes access to ornithology experts who can help identify the bird if needed.



Software Features and Description

1. To help confirm the 3 guesses made by Photo Sleuth, you can tap on any of the thumbnail images to open more species details, including an enlarged illustration, text that explains important field marks and a range map that shows the migration coverage of the bird.

2. iBird Photo Sleuth fits that mold; use its machine learning "brain" to identify a photograph of any bird of North America, regardless of the photo’s quality.

3. Don’t worry if the bird is a tiny blob in the frame; Photo Sleuth is smart enough to find the features that distinguish it from all other 900+ bird species of North America.

4. This new update to iBird Photo Sleuth now includes access to our ornithology experts who will help identify your bird if you want more help.

5. The Photo Sleuth app has been “trained” by over 2 million photos of bird species to ID birds with uncanny accuracy.

6. Sharing of your results can be done two ways: you can share your photo and the Photo Sleuth guesses with your friends via Apple Messages, Email, Facebook, Twitter and all other functions such as printing, which appear on the standard Apple activity menu.

7. Photo Sleuth uses Apple’s new CoreML machine learning system to figure out the species in even the most distorted, fuzzy and poor contrast photograph.

8. If the app thinks that you have submitted a photo of something other than a bird, it will display “Not a Bird.” Of course, some people’s faces look like birds, so it may still suggest a bird species.

9. You can use iBird Photo Sleuth in the field -- no internet connection is required, because its CoreML database is contained in the app.

10. There is also a button for optionally sharing your photo and the results of the Photo Sleuth guess with Mitch Waite Group, so that we can improve our neural network.

11. A future update will add our “Birds Around Me” technology to further narrow the choices that Photo Sleuth guesses.

  • Dead on...most of the time

    By Ornithusiast (Pcmac user)

    I am absolutely amazed at how accurately this identified birds from my photos. Even got one I misidentified way back and recently was told otherwise (which was an Olive-sided Flycatcher). It missed two. It missed an Empid Flycatcher but amazingly enough I had two photos of the same bird and it got it on the second try which was a much better side shot. Well, can’t complain because we all know how difficult those Empids are to identify! It also missed a photo of a dark morph Rough-legged Hawk. Thought it was a Red-tailed. Again, not complaining. A lot of people think a dark morph Roughy might be a Red-tailed and I can’t imagine how hard it is for software to figure this out. I tried all sorts of birds. In trees, in water, in flight on the ground. It got them right. I love it. I am definitely going to tell my birding friends. Now I got to try it with some lousy bird photos. But, I don’t take lousy bird photos...most of the time! At least I don’t keep lousy bird photos. Got to take some! A great app and well worth the money. My hats off to the excellent job.
  • Amazing

    By HornedPuffin (Pcmac user)

    I was skeptical of this app since I’d already purchased a similar app that claimed to ID birds by song. It was a total failure. But this app is good. If this app represents the future of bird identification my days as a birding expert may be numbered. I submitted a collection of difficult to identify photographs I’ve taken and was surprised at how well it worked. Out of 10 hard to identify photos it got 8 correct. I was actually relieved when it got confused telling a Chipping-Sparrow from a House Sparrow, so there’s still hope for my skills. But the app was able to identify some very poor quality photographs that stumped my buddies. A Golden-crowned Kinglet was just a fuzzy blob on a branch; it must have keyed an orange-yellow crown you can barely make out to identify it correctly. I think the price is fair, especially given the app provides range maps and good quality illustrations. As an the app Pro owner I like that it will open that app from its own ID page. However I’d actually prefer if this was an in-app purchase for the app instead of YAA (yet another app), as my iPhone is just too cluttered with birding apps. They ask your permission to train the AI using your photos. Given how bad the quality of the ones I submitted are, I wish them luck. Overall I’ll give this app 5 stars, mainly for the accuracy and the simplicity of the interface.
  • Impressive

    By tagging along (Pcmac user)

    Recently returned from East TX where my spouse focused on birding and I tried to become a better bird photographer. I have over 200 pix that others say are pretty darn good, but do I recall the birds’ name? Along comes this app and it identifies every bird from its photo including a yellow-crowned night heron you can barely see through a thicket and a common pauraque that to me is almost impossible to see through branches and twigs on the ground. For this specific task of identification through existing photos I hope a future version will make returning to the respective album less cumbersome. The App Store is riddled with app reviews describing a complete lack of customer service. Not so with Mitch Waite. I found this group to be responsive and generous in their willingness to help. Once again, those involved in birding prove themselves to be helpful and honest.
  • Good for a beginner

    By amurderofcrows (Pcmac user)

    I’m a beginning birder but I’d like to get better at it and this app seemed like a good way to start. This app uses new tech from Apple called CoreML (ML=Machine Learning) to analyze a photograph of a bird and guess what species it is. The app displays 3 small images with names and a percentage representing how likely each represents what’s in the photo. I used my iPhone 8 Plus camera to snap some shots of seagulls, pigeons and a few crows. The photos were pretty bad but the app was still able to identify them. I googled several bird names, saved them to my photo gallery and used the app to open and identify. It got everyone right. I tried a Monarch butterfly photo and it’s first choice was a Ruby-throated Hummingbird at 63%. Second choice was Not a Bird at 19%. I think the developers need to work on the part of the app that decides what’s a bird, but I had fun using it and think it will be a great way to learn how to identify birds. Few things I’d like to see; a way to look up a bird without needing a photo so I can use it as a field guide, some kind of sighting system like eBird and a way to upload my observations to eBird, more photos of the bird I identified (don’t have their the app reference app).
