Shazam is surprisingly good (e.g. identifying torturous muzak on the PA 
while your
flight is sitting at the gate awaiting departure) - but birds don't 
restrict themselves
to the 88 notes of the piano.  An algorithm to hash* ("fingerprint") 
bird calls to
something manageable would be worthy of a Nobel Prize.
