I tried Merlin song outside this morning after I figured out what I had done last night. When you wear Bluetooth hearing aids, you have to turn off the Bluetooth. It was amazing! I recorded from my deck and all these bird names popped up. I could hear the Robin and house wren, but it also heard the Chipping Sparrow, and House Sparrow which I couldn’t hear. No hearing aids on. Sometimes I get a bird singing that I don’t recognize. This is going to be wonderful for IDing those birds. I used to use Bird Sleuth, but it was never accurate. My girlfriend lives in the woods so she has some different birds than I do. I’m going there today and can’t wait to use Merlin. We downloaded Merlin on her phone yesterday. My great niece will be there too and I’ve been getting her involved in birding. I’m going to put Merlin on her Mom’s phone so they can use it too. My niece doesn’t recognize any bird songs so this will help her with her six year old. I’m going to try and get the whole family more involved in birding. I’m so excited about having an app that works and will help me learn .
