millipede Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I saw this conversation on the AR Bird listserv... so I looked at the eBird report and played the file... it's weird. ebird shows it was a few days ago in Arkansas... I'm mixing species in my head to come up with something similar... but rather than rack my brain I thought I'd see what you all think... https://ebird.org/checklist/S108412383 Side note... is there an easy way to get recordings from Merlin off your phone? I've found I can email the smaller ones to myself but larger files it says NO... Heard something odd in my yard the other day... akin to a northern waterthrush or connecticut warbler type call... I don't even remember which day/file it was so I'll have to play them one by one and hope I hear it again. ugh... I don't want to.

chipperatl Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 What kind of phone? iPhone to Apple product you can Airdrop. Sound a lot like a Dickcissel, just slightly different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was combining dickcissel and something like an indigo bunting in my head. HA... Android... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Android to Windows is simply a matter of connecting the phone to the computer and accessing it through the file directory, I think. Android to Mac requires a software download in order to do the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't feel like it right now. ha. And someone on the list replied suggesting Dickcissel as well... such a weird sound though... Side note... I wish they'd change the name of that bird. Not just because of the 4 letter code either... it's just a weird word that I have to think about how to spell when I'm typing it out... and feels weird to say. HA.

Tying telling a cop that is the bird you are looking for parked at the end of a cul-de-sac with houses being built. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always have a Field Guide in the vehicle, cause trying to show it on a phone doesn't work out that great. He was very cool about it as he rattled off how almost all the new houses being built were someone who is/was in law enforcement. Also talked about the birds he sees on his new property. Definitely one of the good interactions, only had 1 that was less than pleasant. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
