A shout-out to the #Cornell #Lab of #Ornithology (https://www.birds.cornell.edu/home/) for meaningfully enhancing my experience of being outside and noticing birds, especially #eBird (https://ebird.org/) and Merlin Bird ID (https://merlin.allaboutbirds.org/).
I started using their resources a few weeks ago because I wanted to support my daughter's interest in birds. At first, it was a bit of a slog to go through the effort of identifying the birds I was seeing and hearing, but now I've started being able to recognize a few birds by sound and appearance without having to check and it's a really wonderful experience — the world seems suddenly to have become much more lively and all that has changed is that I've started noticing some of the birds around me.
Two examples from this morning:
- Walking to a place to run an errand, I heard two Eurasian jays making a racket. I'd never knowingly seen them in that street before. It was quite exciting to recognize them by sound and then see them so close.
- Then, on the way back from that errand in the same street, there was a (to me large-seeming, probably at least a dozen) cloud of tits moving together in a sort of flying leapfrog fashion from tree to tree in the same direction I was walking. It was a little bit like being part of the group. The group was composed mostly Eurasian blue tits, but there were also at least a couple of long-tailed tits (which Merlin helped me to identify by sound (and my first conscious encounter with the species)) in the group. It was joyful to see how lively they were and listen to them chatter to each other as I walked.And all of this is without any specialized equipment, not even binoculars. Just my own senses and memory, plus my smartphone for the identification help and checklist tracking if I'm in the mood & have the capacity.
I'm reminded of this #quote :

So leise im Wangerland, dass man die zirpenden Insekten als einzige Geräuschquelle erkennt

Keine schlechte Ausbeute gestern im Süden von #Dortmund .
Hinter die Tannenmeise möchte ich aber ein Fragezeichen setzen, die habe ich noch nie hier belauscht und sie wurde nur einmal "erkannt". Habe dieses Jahr leider noch keinen Grünspecht gesehen oder gehört, dafür umso mehr Ringeltauben.

Huh, ein Neuzugang an belauschten Vögeln im Süden Dortmunds! Die Klappergrasmücke muss ich mir noch zu Gemüte führen. Und das in der Großstadt - wenn auch nah am Waldrand.

I was curious to know what bird was the chatty cathy out there and it turns out that it's a house finch. It is chattering up a storm this morning. The quail is further away and I can hear its call in the distance. The Robin is a kind of boring chirp. I can see both the finches and the robins up in my big tree, which still hasn't leafed out, although it is starting to get close.

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.

Today's fun discovery; the Merlin Bird ID app. Now, every time I hear some bird calls, I whip it out to take a recording.
It identifies well even against strong winds, loud wind chimes, and shouty kids.
Let's see if I can haul my arse out of bed to record the dawn chorus this weekend.

And the answer's... Yes! 😊 I didn't get into my groove until the 32 second mark, but that was me. I'll attach a screenshot below proving I'm a bird whisperer! 🤣 #merlinbirdid #merlin #birdid #birdsoftheworld #birds

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?

Weird #iOS bug: This (and only this) app has this drop shadow behind its description. No amount of tweaking seems to remove it 🤷
Edit: More precisely, all app icon text has a drop shadow, but only #MerlinBirdID is misaligned.

Spent some time this cold grey morning outside for the Great Backyard Bird Count. I saw only the usual flocks of house sparrows and starlings that live near the parking lot garden.
According to Merlin’s listening feature, I heard the neighbor blue jay (yep) and a cardinal (also a neighbor) and a house finch. Never seen a house finch! -
