## Description

Wingsong is a fan-made Chrome extension for Wingspan that lets you hear the birds' songs by simply showing a bird card to your phone's camera. Hold the card up and you'll hear the chirp of the bird on that card.

Additionally, you can build a wildlife playlist by adding birds from your collection; songs play randomly during the game to heighten immersion. This is not an official Stonemaier Games product.
