There is an app being developed at the U of Wisconsin (i think) called WeBir=
d that is supposed to do just that. You record the sound on your smartphone t=
o digitize it and it is sent to a server for ID. Must use WIFI or cellular d=
ata to do this. Not all of my birding locales have cellular service (ie Camp=
 in E Dalhousie). But that should improve with time.=20

Google "WeBird" for some further info. The posts I read were dated 2010. Sho=
uld be out by now.=20
