Re: [Maine-birds] Digest for maine-birds@googlegroups.com - 2 updates in 2 topics

So, When you click on Sound ID session under the identity tab you don’t see any? The other thing to check is your iPhone storage, scroll down to Merlin and check the size of Merlin storage. You should have many gigabytes. if you don’t show a sizable storage, I would reboot both your phone and log out and back into Merlin, and check both your storage and your sound ID sessions again. Good luck and let us know.

Merlin app issues

Boots. <bootsg@gmail.com>: Oct 05 09:30AM -0400

Hi all,

I use Merlin frequently for various projects.

It’s not my sole record keeping system but it contains a lot of recordings
and notes that I would be hard pressed to recreate.

This morning the app will not load *any* of my Sound ID Sessions. I’m using
most recent updates on both Merlin (4.2) and my iPhone (26.6.2). I’ve fully
closed the app and hard rebooted my phone. No luck.

Any help/suggestions or comments from others who have also encountered this
would be appreciated.

I left a message on Merlin help section in the app but don’t anticipate a
response.

Marsh Wren?

Mike Chace-Ortiz <mchaceortiz@gmail.com>: Oct 05 08:34AM -0400

Good morning All

Heard this faint, very fast, trilling song next to a reed bed in Wells yesterday.

Merlin would not ID. I think it might be a March Wren.

Here’s a short recording <https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/8eml3eqz0oxhopr2dj8c5/20261004-0730-Wells-ME.wav?rlkey=4ahkevkoqd5ryb978mkh6aptm&dl=0>. Can anyone confirm?

Cheers

[Maine-birds] This Week's Highlights, 9/25-10/1.

Hi all,

For the first time in 20 years, I cancelled my Monhegan Fall Migration Weekend Tour due to ferry cancellations and forecasted weather. While the precip and the strongest winds held out through most of Saturday, it was the right call. Instead, I took full advantage of the “extra” weekend here on the mainland, including three near-full days of storm-related birding. While the storm overall was a bit of a dud, ornithologically-speaking, it did result in some decent birding and several observations of note over the past seven days, including the following:
