New cell phones have wonderful cameras but still have crap microphones. Better microphones can be connected to you phone that will give you better range and sensitivity. I've noticed a big improvement in accuracy with this add-on.

Subject: [cobirds] Merlin misidentification…

For those who rely on Merlin,

I tested Merlin several times while on a walk this morning. It consistently identified a Yellow-breasted Chat as a Lesser Goldfinch when I was more than 50 m from the bird! As I got closer, it changed its identification to chat.
