Rec | BIRDING

🐦

Recently, Nicole and I have spent our lunches on the back deck listening to the birds, learning them by their calls, and watching them go to the many feeders we’ve set out. There’s this app called “Merlin” that you can leave recording, and it’ll identify all the bird calls it hears. The other day got a great look at a “great crested flycatcher” through the vortex vipers. We’d spent the week hunting him down, hearing his call but never getting a glimpse. Finally getting that sighting was rewarding as hell.
