Feel free to share your photos and other birding-related content here. If a photo you post isn't yours, please credit the original creator! Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.

I don't know of a gamified version (but would love to see one), but for help identifying, validating, and tracking sightings you may find the Merlin app from TheCornellLab useful.
Merlin is never able to figure out my location so I've been using Audubon.
That's strange that a single app would struggle with that. And this is with location permissions allowed for the app?
Yep. Definitely weird. I tried all the basic troubleshooting stuff but no luck.
Oh, I definitely use and love the major apps. I was thinking more in terms of repetition and reward to aid memorization.
There are numerous birds i can identity by sight or sound rather easily, but... I still struggle with mixing many smaller finch sized birds; females and juveniles against similar colored males of another species; and how numerous calls sound very alike.
Having an app to drill and test me would be wonderful.
