Welcome to The Backyard Naturalists, the show about anything and everything connected with nature. We're part of a 50-state listening band in the United States, and it just might be that you could win a present if you live in the continental United States or can pick it up nearby.

 

This week, Debbie and Laurie share three of their favorite apps for naturalists for bird lovers. The list includes: Audubon, Inaturalist and Merlin are three of our favorite apps. We hope that when you have some free time, you'll download one of these apps and if you find something that you just absolutely are fascinated by, send us a Facebook message and let us know.

 

Connect with the Backyard Naturalists on the Web, Facebook and Instagram.
