I have been “testing” the Merlin bird sound ID here on Lans. station Rd. with birds I know ( or think I know). This morning it correctly ID’d an atypical, more squeaky call of E. Phoebe. Later, it quickly ID’d a singing Brown Thrasher & a couple minutes later, the mimic serenade of a Gray Catbird about 70 feet away from the tree Thrasher was in. I notice that when a few different birds are calling or singing, Merlin posts all of them in a list of birds ID’d. & in a yard first, I now have a Turkey Vulture perched atop one of my bird feeder posts! It’s wings are spread out in the sun.
