I’m curious about others Merlin app experiences with PNW forest warblers.

Very useful critique, Grant. I've been road testing the Merlin app also
and finding about the same success/failure rate, although with my impaired
hearing I have to just write off more detections (something it hears that I
can't). Spotted towhee was simply not being identified at first, but now
it's showing it. When it tells me peregrine falcon, as I walk through a
wooded area, I do not include that in any report, in fact I am not
including any Sound ID species that I haven't also detected or confirmed by
other means. But it's helping me firm up my listening abilities for OR
birds.

Thought this might be of interest to folks. I conducted a few test runs
of Merlin SoundID to try to get a semi-quantitative assessment of how it
performs in demanding field conditions (my back porch this morning).
