Ranger Amy’s Top Picks

FAVORITE NATURE APPS (AND THEY ARE ALL FREE!)

For all of your plant, animal, insect, and fungi identification needs: 

  • iNaturalist – simply take a photo of the organism and allow iNaturalist to give you an id. You can search for information about that organism as well.  

  • Seek – uses the database from iNaturalist. A great tool for beginners and it’s kid friendly. 

For our bird lovers: 

  • Merlin – my favorite function in this app is the sound recording. It will identify the birds that can be heard around you.  

For stargazing: 

  • Stellarium – just point the camera up at the night sky, and it will show you where the constellations and planets are.  

TOP FACEBOOK GROUP PICKS

  • What kind of snake is this? North Texas Educational Group – I have learned so much about snakes from this group. How to identify them, how they behave, how they contribute to our environment. I can’t recommend this enough, especially for any “the only good snake is a dead snake” individuals out there. No judgement here, I believed that myself for a long time.  

  • Antman’s Hill – Extremely helpful when it comes to identifying and understanding bugs and insects.  

  • Gardening Tips and Tricks – a lot of information about plants, animals, and insects – the good, the bad, and the ugly.
