Re: [cobirds] Sound ID

in the past i was able to record bird song using the merlin app or birdnet app on my Samsung phone, send the recording to my email and ultimately attach the bird ID recording to an ebird checklist accessed on my desktop computer. recently, for some reason, the apps capture the bird song,

Re: [cobirds] Sound ID

I think that it is actually well done. I have used it on recorded songs, and they have come out spot on, The very best part is it actually picks up songs of several birds that may be singing, and even picks up sounds that my ears did not hear. It will give you suggestions of all the birds it

Re: [cobirds] Sound ID

It's true that Merlin Sound ID will get better with time. Right now it only recognizes 458 species. It's also likely to work better with songs than with calls, and it works better when you are in an area with cell service. If you have no service, it can't check its list of suggestions against

Thanks, Chuck, It would make sense that to communicate with Merlin, one would “tweet”. . . but I don’t either. Gary > On Jul 10, 2021, at 1:37 PM, Charles Hundertmark > wrote: > > Here’s what Merlin folks offer as a feedback route: > > "If you’ve tried Sound ID in Merlin, we’d love to

Here’s what Merlin folks offer as a feedback route: "If you’ve tried Sound ID in Merlin, we’d love to hear about your experience. You can get in touch on Twitter, where the Macaulay Library is @MacaulayLibrary ." I’ve avoided Twitter, so doesn’t

Re: [cobirds] Sound ID

Re: [cobirds] Sound ID

I ran into Andrew Spencer and Nathan Pieplow out on the Pawnee a couple of weeks ago and Andrew basically said (if I understood correctly) that Birdnet and Merlin were different teams of Cornell etc. researchers working on the same question separately. He said Merlin should be more accurate than

Re: [cobirds] Sound ID

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

[cobirds] Sound ID

[cobirds] Sound ID help?

COBirders, While birding a neighborhood right across Belleview Ave. from Cherry Creek SP, I had a brief sighting of a medium-sized flycatcher-ish bird. Plain, light colored breast, gray-green back. Couldn’t catch a glimpse of wing-bars or any thing. It shot from some eaves of a house into a
