Just now my partner is working on one of his killer whale presentations and he is playing one of Jpod's calls; the S3 call.
Merlin has decided it's a peregrine....four times!
This is my first experience with Melin doing a cross- species ID attempt. Usually it ignores the sounds of squirrels and chipmunks and marmots, and so on.
This really tops the junco-chipping sparrow- orange crowned warbler debacle. Some of us are also having a house finch-black scoter mis-ID. Happened to us in New Mexico as well as White center.
Ah, Merlin!
Speaking of Peregines, did some surveys this weekend. West Seattle Bridge pair has 3 eggs ...almost time to hatch.
