Birding is such a wonderful hobby. You never know what surprises you may encounter. Yesterday I was walking down a back road with Merlin helping me to hear some of the higher pitched songs that my "seasoned" ears have trouble with. Just as I heard an unfamiliar buzzy sound the bird popped up on my smartphone screen - Golden-Winged Warbler! I spotted it immediately in the middle branches of a nearby walnut tree with no leaves to obscure my view. What a beautiful bird and a Lifer for me! Made my day!
