Subject: Re: [Tweeters] Black-capped Chickadees sounding like Mountain Chickadees |
Eric/all,
My take goes like this ... I use Merlin Soundid as a tool - to
indicate what I should be LOOKING
for - but not as an ID. I often find that Merlin "ids" calls that I not
only didn't see the species
but I didn't even hear the call(s). Often. Not just in the PNW but
essentially everywhere.
I still consider Merlin Soundid to be a very useful and important
tool ... I just don't use it as
an "ID".
And as long as we are talking Merlin - I use Merlin PhotoID literally
"every time I go out and
take a picture" and find it to be Highly Reliable and usually accurate
without question. I take a
picture, I transfer the images to my computer, I use my smart phone to
ask Merlin "what bird
is this?" and get an answer that I can almost always 'just use'. In
fact, PhotoID is so good that
it rarely even has more than one candidate bird.
