Merlin has twice misidentified a junco as a pine warbler in the last two days, FWIW. Which is not to say you didn't hear a swamp sparrow, Alyssa -- just to note that Merlin sometimes gets it wrong.

From: Alyssa Johnson <alyssajohns...@aol.com> Date: Sat, 15 Apr 2023 01:53:17 -0400 X-Message-Number: 1 I was just letting my dogs out, and heard a brief bird song that lasted about 5 seconds. I thought it was a junco trill at first, but I was half asleep so I wasn’t sure. I started “listening” with Merlin in case it sang again, and luckily it did. It was ID as a swamp sparrow, listed as rare where I am which is Searsburg Rd in Trumansburg. It was also 1:40 AM… I played the song to see if it sounded alike, and didn’t just take Merlin’s word for it. It sounded spot on to me. Thoughts? I’ll be glad to share the recording. I also heard two screech owls counter singing a very low tremolo back and forth that Merlin picked up.

Meet at the Newman Golf Course club house at the west end of Willow Avenue (go past the TCAT bus garage, and turn left at the T-intersection). We will walk in the access road from the club house. Come learn about our efforts to restore native vegetation and a functioning ecosystem for birds in this seasonally flooded forest. Thanks Jody Jody W.
