The worm eating warbler is a interesting weak link. For all the trillers I capture it has said worm eating except for one time ChIpping Sparrow corrector id’d and one time pine warbler which I thought was likely wrong although it could have been right as it was at the top of the hill in the arboretum where there are pine warblers. It would just seem late in the season to me but that’s just me guessing on timing. I asked but no one answered so maybe no one knows but if you know Merlin choice is inaccurate are you supposed to click “no match”?
It’s very fun to use Merlin especially to confirm your own vocal id. One thing I’m really liking is the number of other vocalizations like chips and flight calls that are also available Linda Orkin > On Jul 9, 2021, at 10:20 AM, Peter Saracino <petersarac...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > I played the song of a junco from IBird pro on one electronic device and > listened using Birdnet with another electronic device.
