双语新闻：应用程序通过声音识别鸟类

Tracee Herbaugh lives in the Boston area of Massachusetts.

Tracee Herbaugh住在马萨诸塞州的波士顿地区。

Herbaugh thought she was alone in her backyard recently when she used the Merlin Bird ID app. She learned from listening that she was surrounded by more than 12 kinds of birds.

Herbaugh最近使用Merlin Bird ID应用程序时，以为自己一个人在后院。她从听中了解到，她周围有12种以上的鸟。

There were the familiar blue jays, cardinals and goldfinch. But the app also identified birds like chimney swift, northern flicker, fish crow, killdeer and gray catbird.

那里有熟悉的蓝鸟、红雀和金翅雀。但该应用程序也识别出了烟囱雨燕、北方闪鸟、鱼乌鸦、基尔德鸟和灰猫鸟等鸟类。

Two birds identified by the app, veery and great horned owl, even had a red dot next to their names. The red dot meant it was a rare sighting.

应用程序识别出的两只鸟，转向猫头鹰和大角猫头鹰，它们的名字旁边甚至有一个红点。红点意味着这是罕见的景象。

Herbaugh wrote: "Who knew all these birds could be in one yard?"

Herbaugh写道：“谁知道所有这些鸟都在一个院子里？”

Cornell Lab of Ornithology is the maker of Merlin Bird ID. The app was released in 2014. At first, the app only identified birds by sight called Photo ID. The user answered a series of questions to help identify the bird, such as date, area, color, and size. The app became popular during the pandemic when people increasingly wanted to be outdoors.

康奈尔鸟类学实验室是梅林鸟ID的制造商。该应用程序于2014年发布。起初，该应用程序只通过名为照片ID的视觉识别鸟类。用户回答了一系列问题来帮助识别鸟类，如日期、区域、颜色和大小。该应用程序在疫情期间变得流行起来，当时人们越来越想去户外活动。

In 2021, Cornell Lab added Sound ID to identify birds by their sound. In the United States alone, Merlin's Sound ID can identify over 700 kinds of birds. More than 7 million people now use the Merlin Bird ID worldwide.

2021年，康奈尔大学实验室增加了声音ID，通过声音识别鸟类。仅在美国，Merlin的Sound ID就可以识别700多种鸟类。目前，全球有700多万人使用梅林鸟ID。

Alli Smith works on the Merlin project at Cornel Lab. Smith said birdwatching by sound "opens up a whole new world." Even if you cannot see the birds, Smith added, "you can hear their beautiful songs and know they're sharing your neighborhood."

Alli Smith在Cornel实验室从事梅林项目。Smith说，通过声音观鸟“打开了一个全新的世界”。Smith补充道，即使你看不到这些鸟，“你也能听到它们优美的歌声，知道它们正在与你共享你的社区。”

Other bird-identifying apps include the Audubon Bird Guide, ChirpOMatic, Picture Bird and Smart Bird.

其他鸟类识别应用程序包括Audubon鸟类指南、ChirpOMatic、Picture bird和Smart bird。

Connecting with people

与他人建立联系

More than birds, Herbaugh said the app also helped her reconnect with people across the country.

Herbaugh说，除了鸟类，这款应用程序还帮助她与全国各地的人们重新建立联系。

When Herbaugh shared her bird list on social media, two childhood friends who also used the app messaged her about it.

当Herbaugh在社交媒体上分享她的鸟类名单时，两个儿时的朋友也使用了该应用程序，并给她发了信息。

Her relative in Montana shared a list that included hawks, raptors and hummingbirds. And even her young children now quickly go for the app any time they hear an unfamiliar bird call.

她在蒙大拿州的亲戚分享了一份名单，其中包括鹰、猛禽和蜂鸟。现在，即使是她年幼的孩子，只要听到陌生的鸟叫声，也会很快使用该应用程序。

Herbaugh has identified 45 birds on her list so far. She said her children are now the ones driving her to get more on the bird list.

到目前为止，Herbaugh已经在她的名单上确定了45只鸟。她说，现在是她的孩子驱使她在鸟类名单上获得更多。

Smith said when people write to Merlin, they often talk about connection. She said, "There are so many little wonders around and it's fun to share that with people."

史密斯说，当人们给梅林写信时，他们经常谈论联系。她说：“周围有很多小奇迹，与人们分享很有趣。”
