I've been trying this app out to try to identify a specific bird call by my house. I've found out to be pretty helpful.
how are there so many "common" birds around here i never saw before in my life?

I saw a number of these beautiful corvids during a recent road trip down the Pacific Coast Highway. This particular individual allowed me to get quite close, which was much appreciated as I was shooting with a 24-70mm. I did notice that just about every Raven I saw was being constantly bothered by smaller birds. You can see two such antagonists here along the fence.

The gulls were fun to watch along the coast during a trip up into the Redwoods of Northern California.
It has an amazingly loud call which is sure to catch your attention
These geese thrive near our local river in southern Germany. Its only a mobile phone snapshot, but I tried. :D
I have a few birds near my house that I hear almost daily and I would love to learn more about. But obviously Googling a call is difficult. Any tips or ideas for identifying the calls? I'm in the Pacific NW of the US if that helps.
