I have been using Merlin this year to help me learn songs. The app indicated that a Philadelphia Vireo was signing close by and I was able to find the singing bird in a nearby tree. The photo looked a lot like the red eyed vireo I saw earlier on the trail so the confusion. I am finding that Merlin is very helpful, but should not be the final say on an identification.

I recently took a pelagic trip off the North Carolina Coast. As I am going through the pictures I am reminded how much I do not know gulls. The guys on the boat were trying to help me, but it seems that I did not retain the knowledge. I know that we saw Great Black Backed, Lesser Black Backed, Herring, Iceland (2 Types), Ring Billed, and Bonaparte's. I would love some advice on how to tell the difference. I have 45 birds that I am not sure about so I will break them up into several posts. I apologize for flooding the board with gulls. 1 GBB 2 No Idea 3 ? 4 Herring 5 LBB 6 GBB 7 GBB 8 GBB 9 LBB
