I've more or less given up on the Merlin photo ID. It's failed me several times with ridiculous ID -- it called a Vesper Sparrow in a mesquite (not the best shot, of course) a curlew! I've forgotten what the others were but equally as ridiculous. If it needs the "perfect" shot, well, that's not why I would use it unless I needed instant gratification. Regarding Covid19, the stats are starting to look bad again. Humans.....bah!
The pictures are awesome! I want to hear more about how well it actually works. I have friends that post birds they've identified with Merlin and let's just say there are a lot of misidentifications, even of common birds. I have two people on social media I feel like I'm their Merlin checker, lol.
It seems crazy to be day 500 of this crazy pandemic too. I got my booster yesterday and today sucks but I am awfully glad to be able to get it, even if I keep thinking it wouldn't be needed if everyone else would just do their part.
I just got Merlin last week and started playing with it. You’ve helped me understand more how to use it and keep me eyes and ears more open and attuned. Thank you!

The app sounds great. I've used something similar to identify plants here in Kentucky. Google lens works as well.
