Guten Morgen alle zusammen #stadtvögel #birdwatching #merlinApp

Sat on the loo, listening to the evening chorus, and thought, "That's not the usual loud blackbird song."

Out comes the Merlin app.....

Turn's out I'm sat there listening to a song thrush! That's a first.

Hatte mich jetzt gerade interessiert und eventuell fragen sich das auch andere hier: Was ist der Unterschied zwischen BirdNET und Merlin?

Suddenly guessed that #MerlinApp might have another use.

It had just identified chickadees as singing nearby, so I selected the chickadee ID, turned up my volume, and played its sample calls.

Well, instant chickadee central! One even landed on my outstretched fingers. Had never experienced that before!

Hot but productive afternoon on the allotment in our corner of Yorkshire and some different birds were keeping me company. Some I couldn't identify by sight but the magical #MerlinApp helped. #allotmentlife #permaculture #BirdsOfMastodon

The carnivore couple is chatty this morning. That raven pair hangs around and seems to often have various critters to eat.

Just pulled up #MerlinApp to catch their sounds, and a few other birds squeaked in there too. Had never heard of a phoebe before.

Pa ceļam uz vilcienu Merlins salasīja. Nekas pārsteidzošs, ņemot vērā, ka tomēr pilsētvide. Dīvaini, ka neviena mājas strazda balsi nesaķēra, varbūt par agru?

#MerlinApp

Hold the phones! (I guess everyone's doing that all the time these days anyway)

I got six birds in the last scan. One I've never seen before. Cowbird? Interesting.

#merlinApp

The birds are back in town! Some of the 20 bird songs I’m hearing right now.

Post for a late / early #SolarPunkSunday... #OwlCams! Check out the baby #Owlets!

"The #GreatHornedOwlCam just got a whole lot cuter this week thanks to two new arrivals. Athena, the female owl, stood watch over the nest as her first egg hatched a down-covered owlet on April 8 after 34 days of incubation. The second owlet arrived two days later, on April 10. Over the next six weeks, viewers will get an intimate look at the nestling period of one of the sky’s most formidable predators."

I have a great little app on my phone called Merlin - it’s basically Shazam for bird song. Always fun to see who’s back in the area - today is the first time this Spring for the chickadees.

Guten Morgen,
Gut was los bei mir - mitten in der Stadt. Ich freu mich am meisten über die Ringeltauben, sie haben so ein beruhigendes Gurren.

I thought to have a go at fooling the Merlin Bird ID app with my "impression" of an Eurasian Collared Dove down at the allotment this late afternoon 😁 Did I manage to?

During my horizontal sojourn at the allotment yesterday, listening to the birds singing whilst being mesmerized by sycamore seeds 🙂, I thought of having a go with the Merlin app. My first time doing so, and I was very impressed! (It makes my little app look very amateurish though! 😂) #merlinapp #birds

"Stop giving me your toughest battles" 😆

BTW Ptasiarze: macie jakieś metody na reset napotkanych gatunków wraz z nowym rokiem, czy po prostu nie przejmujecie się statystyką roczną i kontynuujecie uzupełnianie brakujących liferów?

BTW, in my unrealistic heart of hearts I WAS hoping for a pileated sighting today, but I assumed #MerlinApp would have jinxed it for me.

How reliable are the identifications from the sound ID of the #MerlinApp? It picks up birds constantly that I can't see, so I'm not sure if I can confirm then or not.

Małe (jest piękne) uzupełnienie kolekcji o kilka nowych gatunków ptaków, zaobserwowanych w tym tygodniu.

Szczególnie zaskakujący okazał się dudek, przelatujący tuż nad naszymi głowami (!).

Following Dan's suggestion that we do the following, here is my brief 10 minute bioblitz in my woods .
Birds heard and recorded by #merlin #merlinApp
I'm trying to learn to identify only from their songs or calls. As I mostly can't see them!

#10MinuteBioblitz.

• Pick an area that you like
• Explore for 10 minutes and record what you find, be it flora or fauna
• Can be photos, sounds, descriptions, drawings, whatever you like
• ID not required. But Alt-text please

Now this (and #MerlinApp) are good uses for #Smartphones!

Structure and functionality of the #FloraIncognita app

"The Flora Incognita app currently allows the automatic identification of more than 16.000 vascular plant species. The identification process is intuitive: take a picture of the plant with the camera of the smartphone or #tablet. The unknown plant is then automatically identified in seconds. In addition to the identified plant species, a fact sheet displays further information such as characteristics, distribution, or protection status. The app was launched in April 2018 and is freely available in 20 languages for Android, iOS, and Harmony OS devices.

"The app guides users through an adaptive process of taking one or more images depicting specific organs of an unknown plant, such as a flower or a leaf. Which images are requested and in which order is determined automatically based on an observation’s context, that is, the growth form of the unknown plant, the current season and already acquired information. The identification process requires an internet connection for transferring images and metadata to the server and receiving results. In areas without network coverage, users can capture unknown plants and save those observations in offline mode. When, later, there is a network connection, those plant findings can be identified with all important metadata pertaining to that image (i.e. date and location). All images are analyzed using a cascade of deep neural networks on the Flora Incognita computer cluster. The app will either suggest a single plant species or a short list of similar species ranked by the identification probability. For each species, a comprehensive fact sheet and informative images depicting different perspectives and organs are provided. Users are requested to confirm the correct species at the end of the process to commit an observation."

It was hard to get good recordings of the neighborhood birds on my #NatureHike today -- so much #NoisePollution! But I waited until my neighbor was done running his lawn mower and found some spots that were relatively free from traffic sounds (it wasn't easy). But I was rewarded with a sound recording of a new visitor to #Maine -- the #CarolinaWren!

The #RedEyedVireo was one of our far-away visitors here in #Maine!

Backyard Bird of the Month for May: Red-eyed Vireo
by Andy Kapinos

Birds, Maine's Naturalist, News & Notes · April 30, 2024

"Here I am! Where are you? Way up here! In the tree! So goes the song of the Red-eyed Vireo, heard in nearly every forested area between Kittery and Fort Kent from May until early autumn. True neotropical migrants, Red-eyed Vireos spend the nonbreeding season in the #AmazonBasin, especially in Colombia, Brasil, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Peru. Most depart South America during April, and over the course of a few weeks or a month, make their way up through Central America and the southeastern US, #migrating on clear nights and refueling during the day by feasting on the abundance of newly-emerged insects. The first males can reach Maine by the first week of May, but the majority arrive in the second and third weeks, just in time for the emergence of leaves and insects in the canopy of our forests.

"These canopy-dwellers are heard far more often than they are seen, and possess a huge vocal repertoire, combining various “syllables” into “phrases” that don’t repeat. In fact, there is often no similarity between the songs of males whose territories are right next to each other. While the males generally sing from treetops, Red-eyed Vireos forage and nest in the mid- and understory, and require forest habitat with layers of native shrubs and small trees. Their nests are usually built at these lower levels, with layers of foliage above to hide the nest from predators. They raise their young on insects, especially caterpillars and other larvae, before eating increasing amounts of fruit later in the summer, which they subsist on throughout the nonbreeding season. The return of Red-eyed Vireos to their breeding territories in Maine is a yearly reminder that conserving healthy forest #ecosystems is important not only here at home, but also in the neotropical #forests where they spend the rest of their lives."
