Merlin sound ID keeps suggesting it hears osprey when I only see red tailed hawk. Today I was walking by the Allegheny River and heard what I thought was a red tailed hawk and saw an adult perched on a sign on the Highland Park bridge. I saw another bird about 100 yards away and could see it vocalizing (I think).
Merlin cycled between osprey and red tail ID and even added in Bald eagle at one point. I couldn't clearly see the calling bird clearly, but it seemed to be a juvenile red tail. I was not far downriver from the osprey nest that fledged a young bird this spring. I appreciate comments.
