We believe the natural world is always singing — most of us just forgot how to listen. We're here to help you tune back in.
Engineer & Founder
A software developer with a classical music background, Nick first fell in love with birds by learning to distinguish their songs. He's always been drawn to making complex things learnable, which led him to start a coding program at a youth center. After his daughter was born, walks with the stroller turned into birding sessions, and that's where Wings & Whistles started.
Storyteller
A storyteller who believes genuine connection and a slightly silly point of view can cut through the noise. With ten years in film production, Jess shapes stories that feel human, organic, and help people feel a little less alone.
Learning Advisor
A lifelong learner, mom, and excitable amateur birder. As an early tester and enthusiastic supporter of the app, Linda helps brainstorm ideas and keep the experience fun and accessible! Linda previously worked as a preschool and kindergarten teacher where she developed a passion for making learning joyful and engaging for all.
Field Recordist
Field biologist, sound recordist, illustrator, birder, and more, Natasza's favorite place to be is outside, wherever that may be. As an avid listener, she began her journey as a field sound recordist in 2015, starting with the fantastic mimids, Northern Mockingbirds. Intuitively, her go-to method of birding is by ear, and she enjoys teaching others how to bird by both sound and sight. She loves the excitement of migration birding and the thrill of chasing sounds.

Rachel Clark is a birder based out of Central California. Her birding journey began at age nine when she first saw a Western Tanager. Today, she owns and operates her own guiding company called Central California Birding Tours.
You don't need gear, expertise, or a cabin in the woods. Just step outside — or open a window. The natural world meets you where you are.
We're not here to make you an ornithologist. We're here to help you feel more connected to the living world around you — one song at a time.
Birds have been singing long before we arrived. Learning their songs is a small act of attention — a way to slow down and be present where you are.
Whether you're a seasoned birder or just starting to notice the songs outside your window — we'd love to hear from you. Share a story, suggest a feature, or just say hello.
