Hearing, Identifying, Photographing

I am starting to pay more attention to how birds sound. They are so unique. It's not just about how they sound ... it's more about learning to identify birds by how they sound.

I am using this app called Merlin Bird ID by Cornell Lab. That link is to the app in the Apple App Store. I believe it can be found on the play store as well. Anyway, one of they tools he includes is that it 'listens' and then identifies birds. It's very cool

While hiking one day last week, I heard a birds that I could not identify so I used the app to identifiy it as a Carolina Wren. Knowning what you are looking for can sometimes help in finding it. Sure enough, I locate her and shot this photo.
