Macht echt Spaß 
I was curious to know what bird was the chatty cathy out there and it turns out that it's a house finch. It is chattering up a storm this morning. The quail is further away and I can hear its call in the distance. The Robin is a kind of boring chirp. I can see both the finches and the robins up in my big tree, which still hasn't leafed out, although it is starting to get close.
I have a great little app on my phone called Merlin - it’s basically Shazam for bird song. Always fun to see who’s back in the area - today is the first time this Spring for the chickadees.

Today's fun discovery; the Merlin Bird ID app. Now, every time I hear some bird calls, I whip it out to take a recording.
It identifies well even against strong winds, loud wind chimes, and shouty kids.
Let's see if I can haul my arse out of bed to record the dawn chorus this weekend.

Weird #iOS bug: This (and only this) app has this drop shadow behind its description. No amount of tweaking seems to remove it 🤷
Edit: More precisely, all app icon text has a drop shadow, but only #MerlinBirdID is misaligned.
