Merlin Bird ID has now integrated your eBird life list right into the Merlin app. Merlin puts a blue check mark next to birds on your eBird life list, giving you a neat way to explore birds and quickly see photos of all of the birds you’ve seen.

The life list integration also makes studying for that next birding trip a whole lot easier. If you have an Android you can now filter the bird list (triangle icon on the top right) to hide birds already on your life list. Now you have a curated list of birds to study or dream about. Development of this feature for iOS is coming soon.
