Thanks, Jeff. I used Bird Net too, before Merlin. I agree about Merlin’s interface being a lot more user-friendly. I wasn’t sure how to do the upload, though, so your email was helpful.
BirdNet says Dark-Eyed Junco, with Chipping Sparrow second, and Flammulated Owl third. I’ll go with DEJU! Interesting, that BirdNet was (is?) associated with Cornell, too . . . and that they’d give such different results!
