  • Merlin app recommendation

    Question

    With fall bird migration getting under way, I'd like to share an amazing tool with readers, lovers of the parks and bird watchers of all skill levels. Merlin Bird ID is an app released by the Cornell Lab of ornithology that can help people ID birds by sight and most incredibly, sound. Merlin can "listen" to the environment and "hear" bird calls and ID a species based on that call. It's nothing short of amazing! Merlin and binoculars make for a great birding adventure in your back yard or your local Geauga County parks!
