If I were into bird watching this would be great. Neat idea. Anybody know if there’s a website you can do this for weeds?

Where can I get a bird identified by sound? I heard a strange sounding bird a few nights ago, but never did get to see it.

A bird at *night* might be an owl.

Yeah, I can usually identify birds but plants are another matter.

Thanks! I have a picture that may be a good test. My guess it is a young robin but with acojoined twin. It was in our parking lot a few years ago and appears to have 4 functioning wings.

Probably a Whippoorwill. I live in Iowa across from Nebraska and that’s what sings at night.

No bird collection would be complete without a nice pair of these.

Cornell Ornithology Lab has a website with recorded sounds of LOTS of different species of birds that you can play back to ID a bird. If you live where there are mockingbirds, THAT might be your night-singing birds. Males sing at night as well as during the day.

There is a web site I used to ID a very annoying bird call - unfortunately I did not book mark it. Do a google search and you should be able to find it.
