With an extensive database covering over 40,000 plant and animal species, Nature ID helps you identify and learn about wildlife found in your garden, on a hike, at a park or anywhere your adventures take you.

IDENTIFY PLANTS AND ANIMALS

Take a photo or choose one from your gallery. Nature ID analyzes the image and shows possible matches with common names, scientific names, species types and confidence scores.

From delicate wildflowers and majestic trees to butterflies, mammals, reptiles and other fascinating creatures, species discovery is only a photo away.

IDENTIFY BIRDS BY SOUND

Hear a bird but cannot see it? Record the bird call or choose an audio file. Select the clearest part of the recording and let Nature ID analyze it in short segments.

Review possible bird matches, compare confidence scores, replay individual sound segments and explore information about the most likely bird species.
