Thank you Tony,
I'll change it on eBird. Even Merlin ID'd as Common Raven and didn't show
Hooded Merganser.
I know Merlin confuses Brown Thrasher all the time for Northern Mockingbird.
There were two Canada Geese that had just predated a Hooded Merganser nest
thirty feet up on a dead tree as I watched the eggshells fall. I wouldn't
have thought that sound came from a Hooded Merganser but hear that it does.
