It cannot be overstated how cool the audio ID function is. I would not have learned the difference between a red-tailed and red-shouldered hawk otherwise.
Never leave home without Merlin!
I use the Sound ID feature all the time! It's helped me to identify so many local birds that I hear all the time, but never see.
Same. Didn't know blackcaps were everywhere in the woods near me until I got Merlin.
I’ve recorded so many cool birds with Merlin! Everyone in my house is now able to recognize a Northern Cardinal.

Feel free to share your photos and other birding-related content here. If a photo you post isn't yours, please credit the original creator! Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.
