IcarosityI don't usually count the birds the Merlin app hears unless I recognize the songs too but just out of curiosity I wrote down all the species of birds I saw and Merlin heard today and it came to 52 species, 12 of which were warblers. And that was just in town and woods. If I'd gone to the marsh and the lake and then gone into the woods at dusk for more thrushes and the owls it would easily be over 60, probably at least 70.
