Since I’m reviewing this thing, I’ve been digging into the app to see what it can teach me about birds. This week, I learned that the lesser goldfinch comes in two varieties depending on the coast. East Coast birds have black backsides, while West Coast birds have green-hued backs. There are plenty of other little tidbits I’ve learned, too, about each bird breed’s temperament and what kind of food they like. House finches know to eat at my house because they’re known for having impeccable memory. I wonder if they’re going to tell each other there’s a camera watching them now…
