All: At approximately 9.20 I heard a strange bird call, so I pulled out my trusty Merlin app which identified the call after 1-2 seconds as a MERLIN. As I live in a very urban area (community path > 1/4 mile away, parks further) this seems very strange to me. The call was similar to but a lower pitch then the Merlin app MERLIN (bird) call. Does anyone have suggestions of an alternative bird?
Thanks, Bob Parker Somerville, MA (between Davis and Porter Squares)
