What does Bird Tone help me practice?
Bird Tone trains you to notice field marks, remember color placement, and compare a quick impression with a real bird. It is practice for observation, not a tool that identifies an uploaded photo.
Can I practice without knowing bird names?
Yes. Each round asks you to notice one bounded visual clue before revealing the species and explanation. You can learn the name after you have made the observation.
Do I need an account to practice?
No. The current practice session runs in this browser tab without sign-up, saved history, rankings, or a public profile.
Does Bird Tone include bird calls?
Yes. Species guides include licensed recordings with source and license details. Use them to connect a visual field mark with the bird’s sound; Bird Tone does not currently present those calls as a sound quiz.
How does Field Mark Match scoring work?
Press Check choice to use an attempt. A correct first, second, or third attempt earns 10, 5, or 1 point. Three misses earn 0, then reveal the field mark so you can compare it. Selecting a swatch alone does not use an attempt.
