I agree! My son, who is going through a rough patch in his life, takes long hikes to restore his spirit. When I told him about Merlin, he was so pleased with what it adds to his solitary hikes and the way it’s enhanced his knowledge of birds. Thank you, Lab of O and all who have made this wonderful tool available.

Thank you so very much to its developers. Merlin has engaged my friends and family in ways I have not seen before. My husband, for example, “likes“ birds but won’t even pick up a pair of binoculars. Last night he said “get your phone and come out front quick!” because, he said, the bird sounds were astounding (and they were). He stood there with Merlin for the longest time, turning, recording and listening, and the look on his face was great. This morning he grabbed my phone again walking along the East Hill trail….. Thank you, Merlin people! Thank you sound library people! So amazing.
