Lightroom Bird Name Keywords is a list of what appears to be all of the bird names on the planet – over 10,000 bird names sorted by species along with the Latin name entered hierarchally as Lightroom CC keywords. The list is searchable within Lightroom CC so finding a portion of the name or species generally gets you to the correct name and spelling.
I found the list of names from the Lightroom Keyword list blog however Lightroom does not support this list very well because if you attempted to find “yellow warbler” it found all keywords with the word “yellow” or “warbler”. Given that the list contains every bird species on the planet, the list of yellow goes on for hundreds of birds.
To resolve this I performed a mass edit and changed the blanks to “_”. Therefore searching for “yellow_warbler” finds the following:

Placing a checkmark on the appropriate name then loads the following into the selected image(s).

The current state of the USB / Thunderbolt standards are very confusing so I created this reference sheet:
| Standard | Port /
Connector End |

| USB-A | Square end must be inserted correctly | 7.5 watts | Gen 1 | 5 Gbps | USB 3.0, USB 3.2 Gen 1 | |||||||

Adobe may be on to something with their Super Resolution (pixel doubling) software update in Adobe Camera Raw – especially for wildlife photography which often involves heavy cropping or for those shooting with lower resolution cameras (lets say less than 40 meg pixel) such as the A9.
The following two images originate from the same Sony raw ARW file of 6000 x 4000 pixels, shot hand held on a 24 megapixel Sony A9 II at 600 mm, 1/2000 sec at f6.3 from at least 50ft from the subject. To me the raw image seems sharp and in focus but lacks detail when compared to the enhanced image.
The first image is produced using the original native resolution with a heavy crop, resulting in a cropped image of 998 x 1209 pixels which is not very many pixels.
The second used the original .ARW file but was was put through “Adobe Camera Raw Enhance – Super Resolution” resulting in a the original file being upsized to 12000 x 8000 pixels and then I identically cropped the second image to the same proportions as the first – bringing it down to 2404 x 2979.
The second image was then adjusted appropriately for sharpening and noise (for that resolution) with all other settings identical to the first original image.
The second image has more resolution – notice the hairs under the beak – however the difference is a bit harder to see from the web.
As of May 8, 2021 Lightroom does not have the interface for Enhance Double but utilizes the same Camera Raw 13.2 so this feature is now available all be it somewhat convoluted from Lightroom.
Once Adobe updates Lightroom to support this feature natively, the above steps will not be necessary.
Let me know what you think.
