<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Merlin is a wonderful app, but it makes mistakes all too regularly, especially confusing similar species. I have never taken it out for a day without detecting mistakes such as misidentifying a bird I'm looking at or not even recording a prominent song going on.</span>

<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;"><br>American Pipits have a two-noted call, not a single peep, so I wonder what else that might have been. And they are birds of wide-open country, never encountered in a wooded area and usually only vocalizing when in flight over that open country.</span>

Every morning before I get up I place my phone on the window sill with the Merlin app turned on to Sound Recording,

This morning I woke up to single note peeping I first thought was a House finch, but after listening for a few minutes, I realized it was not. I had Merlin app tuned on to sound recording and was surprised to see that as a peeping continued, the American pipit illuminated up every time.
