Train to identify birds like an expert.

Most people look for birds. Experienced birders read the landscape — habitat, season, movement, shape — and already know what they're seeing. Flyway trains that skill on the live sightings near you, free. Two parts: the Compass (read the place before you see a bird) and the Method (the five-step routine when one appears).
Really cool concept for birders. One thing that would genuinely help me is a sound clip playback for each question so you can practice identifying by call and song, not just visuals.
@filizaltuniu43 Shipped! Two ways to practice by ear now: a full "By Ear" quiz mode (audio-only mystery birds, photo revealed after you answer), and a "🔊 Hear this bird" button on every visual question's answer reveal so you can attach the call to the bird you just identified. Thanks for the push — this made the app better.
One thing that would make this way more useful for me is a timed "mystery bird" audio mode using the eBird media library, so you could practice identifying calls and songs the same way you practice visuals. Would also help prep for dawn chorus surveys.
@bayramzndzow4z This was too good an idea to sit on — a By Ear mode is now live. Pick "🔊 By Ear" in the quiz options and every question becomes a mystery bird: audio only, photo revealed after you answer, and speed counts toward your score, so it plays like a timed drill. It even has its own leaderboard, separate from the visual quizzes.
