I’ve always loved listening to the massive amount of birds around the ranch. There’s just something about stepping outside in the morning and hearing the pastures come alive.
Recently I discovered the Merlin Bird ID app, and I’m hooked. It’s so cool to let it listen and identify the birds singing around me.
These are just a few of the birds it picked up around the ranch this morning:
• Indigo Bunting
• Orchard Oriole
• Red-headed Woodpecker
• Barn Swallow
• Northern Cardinal
• Mourning Dove
• Grasshopper Sparrow
• Red-eyed Vireo
• Eastern Phoebe
…and many more.
Kind of amazing how much life and music is all around us every day if we slow down long enough to notice it. 🐦🌾
