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.
Merlin was my gateway. Haven't been able to stop noticing birds since. I just hear there calls man... always singing, always calling. Always calling
Dude, there have been some bogs (near me/for me) that were utterly scant of birds or much any other leg critters.
