There is a book on Vard. Don't remember the exact title, right now, but it has many popular birds and their songs. It's more a case of go through the birds and find the song, not hear the song and search for the bird. I'm sure if you do a search for birdsong, or bird song, it will come up.

Coming to this late, but if it's the iPhone weather you are talking about, you can skip all those hours by tapping further down the screen and get the day by day forecast. Below that are some of the weather conditions: sunrise, sunset, pressure, air quality, the "feels like" temperature, wind.
