  • Hummingbird at the feeder

    With a recent blast of winter I noticed a few hummingbirds already here so I put up the feeder.
    Not 30 seconds later, this fella showed up.

  • Merlin Bird Sound ID

    I’ve been really impressed with the Merlin App for Android Sound ID.
    There have been a few birds that I have not been able to spot or identify visually but using Sound ID I can quickly pull up and confirm which bird I’m hearing.

    The Pacific Wren has an amazing song and I noticed for years the calls but I’ve still yet to see one.
    Also particular impressive was it’s recognition of the Stellar’s Jay non-screechy vocalizations.
