During a hike today at Watershed Nature Center, I used the Merlin Ap to listen for birds. Over about 90 minutes, here's what Merlin heard (listed alphabetically):
- American Crow
- American Goldfinch
- Blue Jay
- Canada Goose
- Carolina Chickadee
- Carolina Wren
- Downy Woodpecker
- Eastern Phoebe
- Golden Crowned Kinglet
- Hairy Woodpecker
- Northern Cardinal
- Northern Flicker
- Northern Mockingbird
- Red Bellied Woodpecker
- Red Winged Blackbird
- Song Sparrow
- Summer Tanager
- Swamp Sparrow
- Tufted Titmouse
- White Breasted Nuthatch
- White Throated Sparrow
- Yellow Rumped Warbler
Not a bad collection. I was able to visually identify (see) a lot of them, but not all. I wish I had been able to photograph the Golden Crowned Kinglet, pretty sure I saw them, but didn't have my camera/zoom lens so couldn't be sure (or document it)
That's one of the cool things about watershed, it's not a huge place (~40 acres I think) but it has several habitats, from ponds to open grasslands to forested hills. And enough trails to put in 3+ miles.
