It's actually really weird that birds are cool as fuck but somehow most people ignore them until they are over 35. I don't know why that is, but it's a pretty common pattern, outside of ornithologists.
I'm approaching 30 but I started using Merlin a few years ago and have evolved into a casual bird nerd since.
Nice. Sounds like me, only 10 years ahead of schedule :)
Merlin is really great. It works very well in several countries I've tried it in. Only complaint is that in Africa, the sound id is almost non-existent
CornellLab also has BirdNET. Not certain if you can ID/tag calls, but might be a way to contribute.
