[Audio file attached to earlier post didn’t work, sorry]
Were dueting GHOWs in (near) my backyard very early this morning—easily recognizable—but had to turn on phone to record VERY loud, repeated “squawk,” which I did not recognize at all! MerlinID said GHOW! 🤯 (Possibly juvenile, possibly female)

We walked through the Vondelpark to dinner, which was delightful even if a little soggy

Instantly added 5 birds to my MerlinID life list 😄

Also we're seeing birdwatching be made into an industry. Sell more binoculars - MerlinID wants to sell you these $3500 AI-powered binos. More shirts, hats & pins than you can shake a stick at.

It's a new profit center!

I was listening to bird calls on MerlinID.

I attracted a lonely "Eastern Wood Pewee" (Contopus virens) to my very accommodating front sanctuary.

I felt the splitting to the core of empathy for a lonely being.

Need siutsud ja merlinid jms on ikka suht kasutud äpid. Istun aeda viludasse, et kuulaks loodushääli, debiilikust naaber tõmbab oma niiduki käima, aga ükski äpp ei tuvasta, mis brändi oma see on! Hoolimata sellest, et karjub kõvemini kui musträstad ja silmaga on näha, et Husqvarna.

Yes, they’re similar, but definitely a Sun Bittern. Thanks

I just downloaded MerlinID and will be using that moving forward. Not Google which steered me wrong 🙂

That MerlinID bird identification app is pretty sweet.
I didn’t know there were song sparrows, brown headed cowbirds, and red wing blackbirds here.

It happens so fast! One day you’re just young and free and never, not once, thinking about birds

Then a day happens in your thirties and you’re like “wait, was that a fuckin yellow warbler I just saw?!” and you can’t consult merlinID fast enough

Just fuckin outta nowhere!

Remember, you can use a Red Winged Blackbird as either Red or Black but not both.

MerlinID from Cornell is one of the best apps ever made. Uses your mic to listen to bird songs and tells you what birds are hanging out around you.

MerlinID doesn’t pick up chicken noises??? That disappoints me.
