The Merlin Bird ID and Audubon Bird Guide app can easily be downloaded on phones on tablets. Not so easy on a desktop computer.
Here's a free online resource with easy to find ID. BIRD WATCHER'S DIGEST: [https://www.birdwatchersdigest.com/bwdsite/]
There are plenty of books for identifying birds available through the Franklin County Library System. They are offering curbside pickup. Go to their webpage for CURRENT GUIDELINES for checking out books at this time. (http://www.fclspa.org/reopening/). Use the topic Bird identification in the Search box.

My favorites books are:
* Sibley Field Guide to Birds - This has drawings of male & female plus juvenile & breeding plumage on some.
* Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Birds
* Peterson Field Guide to Birds East of the Rockies
If you want a great bird song ID book get BACKYARD BIRDSONG GUIDE EASTERN AND CENTRAL (Cornell Lab of Ornithology). [ https://www.amazon.com/Backyard-Birdsong-Guide-Eastern-Listening/dp/0811863425 ] It has the sounds of seventy-five unique birds from Eastern and Central North America at the touch of a button plus short descriptions of each.
