Morning Songs...

First chirp: around 5:15am ish or so. Started recording around 5:30 and kept in going for about 25 minutes. 

 Merlin picked up:

  • Red Winged Blackbird: who started the show- at least, the first one I noticed. 
  • Northern Cardinal: by far the star of the chorus. 
  • Carolina Wren: was trying really hard to outsing the Cardinal.
  • Gray Catbird: I'm always intrigued by their more awkward but musical song and then later by their "mew"- for which they get their name. 
  • Mourning Dove: I used to confuse these with owls when I was younger.
Late to the party: 
  • House Sparrow
  • American Robin
  • Red-eyed Vireo: Merin caught this but I didn't. I did have some red-eyes last Spring (and finally saw one!) so this is probably legit! 
Merlin picked up but I didn't-  sounds maybe just confused the app: 
  • American Goldfinch: I am still not familiar with their song yet. 
  • Canada Goose: Feasible but I thought I would have noticed unless distracted. 
  • Brown Thrasher- This one came up as rare in the area and I wonder if other sounds confused the app.
