Displaying photos with titles

I have a lot of photos of birds and other wildlife. I would like to display them with titles. I know how to add a title to each photo but I have not found a way to display them with the name of the species. I know I can "get info" for each individual picture to see the title I've assigned, but now how to get that information to display.

Is there some other app besides "Photos" that I can use that will make this easy? I'm not that interested in editing the images. I just want to be able to see the species name when I look at them.

Thanks for any help.

Photos for Mac can display the titles below the thumbnails, if you enable it in the View menu: View > Metadata > Titles.

But have a look at PowerPhotos.

It can display the photos from your Photos Library in a nice list view, where you can show the titles, keywords, descriptions and more in the column of the list. And in grid view you can show a title and a subtitle. The free trial version of PowerPhotos will suffice as a browser for Photos but if you want to use it to merge libraries or find duplicates, you will need the full version. https://www.fatcatsoftware.com/powerphotos/
