Side Quest: Merlin app
Drs. Swartz and Phillips would love bird call data from you all during the City Nature Challenge. The data should be collected through the phone app Merlin – which allows for bird calls to be recorded and identified (using AI). To participate in this side quest:
- Download the Merlin app
- Record a SoundID observation
- Recordings should be 1-2 minutes long
- Recordings should take place between sunrise and 10 am Saturday (4/27) and/or Sunday (4/28).
- Save a screenshot of the bird species (or a couple of screen shots if its active).
- Send your screen shot to Richard Phillips (rphillips@wittenberg.edu)
