QR Code
Want to encourage people to open or download Merlin? Scanning this code will open the Merlin app if you already have it on your phone, or will prompt you to download it if you don’t have it yet.
You can download and use this QR code on signs or posters.
Link to any species
You can use a QR code to direct people to any particular species, which can be useful as part of interpretive signs or displays. You can create a link to any bird species by:
- Go to https://ebird.org/explore
- Under “Explore Species,” search for the bird you’d like to link to. For example, Wood Lark.
- On the species page, look at the 6 or 7 letter code at the end of the URL. For Wood Lark, it’s “woolar1” https://ebird.org/species/woolar1
- Copy and paste this code into the end of this URL: https://merlinbirds.org/species/ So, Wood Lark would be: https://merlinbirds.org/species/woolar1 .
- Use that link to create a QR code using a QR code generator.
- You’re done! If you scan the QR code and you already have Merlin installed, it will open the species in the app. If you scan it and don’t have Merlin installed, it will open the species account in a web browser. Scan the code here to try it out!
