[Mnbird] Second sighting of varied thrush

[Jim & Charlene Nelson]

Pamela,

Actually if you send the photo thru Merlin you should get a good ID. Merlin is a free app from Cornell, if you haven’t used this app yet. I use it daily for sound ID to be sure I’m not missing anything - my hearing is selective to higher pitched sounds and I miss things like doves and cuckoos.
