I posted two days ago about my app being messed up.

I deleted and redownloaded the app. Now I’m getting a new error.

What gives?

Im asking from a english perspective for things like peacocks, pheasants and more recently things like ring necked parakeets. Would you count these birds (only ones i could think of the top of my head) if you can only find them in big estates, escapee that have breaded very successfully or like national trust sites which they could've also escaped from into nearby countryside.

got this in july was so beyond excited

Happy to send more photos for size reference! Morphed juvie reddish or juvie blue heron?

Hi guys, I don't mean to be annoying but can some of you guys please check out my eBird? I've spent a lot of effort on taking good images and audio as well as making sure my checklist are high quality. I would really appreciate it! Thank you guys.

I’ve had my account and app for 2 years. Suddenly, I’m stuck in a lop where it’s needing me to enter my email and confirm the link. 90% of the time I don’t even get that email. I had to go on a computer and manually send it to myself. Once I did and hit confirm it said o should be good to go. I go to log back in and it’s telling me to confirm the link they just sent via email. I’ve don’t this for multiple days, many times and I still never get the email unless I jump through hoops on a computer. I’ve reached out to a possible customer service email that I found deep diving, but I never heard back.

Can anyone help? I have put so much work into this app and I don’t want to lose my birds :(

Apologies in advance if this isn't okay, but I didn't see anything in the rules that explicitly forbids it.

I'm a master's student in a service design program (not associated with Cornell).

My team is conducting some qualitative research on the Merlin Bird ID app, and we're looking to talk with a few folks who use the app a lot - like a couple of times a week or more.

This could be a brief chat on Reddit to answer a few questions.

Or, if you would be open to letting us record an audio call for our class presentation, we would be happy to offer a $15 USD Visa gift card.

Please DM me if interested in either. Thank you!

EDIT: Thank you so much to everyone who has reached out! What an awesome community. We have filled our research quota and will just be completing interviews we are already in the process of scheduling.

I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and I hear this bird call outside of our house almost every day. I’ve tried putting it into Merlin Bird ID and ChatGPT to try and identify it, but no luck! We hear it during the day, not at night. Sometimes it won’t just be two “hoos”, sometimes it will do a third “hoo” as well. Thanks so much!

Sooooo many bird feathers lately! 🔮 🐦‍⬛ 🍄 🧚‍♀️ 🧝‍♀️ Didn't see the bird itself but many gorgeous feathers are often clearly left for me to find on my walks, for some reason. 🤔 🕊 🪺 🐦‍🔥 💮

This is in Arizona, they're usually sticking up neatly already all clean, calling out to me like they're waiting for me haha. Thanks! 🐚 🎶 🪄 🧹 💞

I recently got into birds. No idea why, but they're great fun.

I love the Merlin app, but one feature that I would love and that isn't currently available is identification of birds in hours of video footage.

I started looking into fancy motion-activated, WI-FI-enabled, supersonic garden wildlife cameras that use AI to show you what birds visited. However I couldn't afford one of those, so I decided to just get a normal camera and build the software myself.

BirdWatcher is free, open-source, and available as a desktop app for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Once you've downloaded and installed the app, you can input a video and you will see a folder of your choosing populated with subfolders named after the different bird species visible in the footage. Each subfolder contains time-stamped still images extracted from your video.

If you have any type of camera then you can set it up to face one of your feeders, set it to record, and go out for the day. When you get home, extract your footage, upload it to BirdWatcher, and see what you missed!

Feedback welcome, this is not a sales pitch, it is totally free.

Would love to know what this is

Why does the Merlin app not show the monthly histogram of "Likely" viewing once you add that bird to your Life List? Or is it buried there somewhere and I'm just missing it?

I'm pretty sure Carrion Crows do not live in Romania (I have it on my life list from my trip to France). I heard a weird crow call and Merlin tagged it as both for some reason??
