[cobirds] Sound ID

COBirders,

Yesterday, I participated in David Hallock's Indian Peaks Breeding Bird Count. My "area" was the Woodland Lake Trail (accessed from Hessie Trailhead, near Nederland). I kept hearing a bird that I couldn't quite identify. It didn't sound quite like a Chipping Sparrow or Dark-eyed Junco, so I thought I'd try the new Merlin Bird Sound app (which is amazing, I must say). Without hesitation, or providing any other suggestions, it identified the sound/bird as a Pine Warbler. Since eBird designates that bird as "rare", I don't want to say that that's what it was, solely on the basis of the call.

I have a recording that I'm happy to share, if someone would like to help me (and Merlin) make the right (pardon the pun) "call".

Thanks so much!
