#TenMinMerlin Went on a 90 minute bird walk in northern Illinois forest preserve. Merlin heard 9 different warblers-how many were we able to spot? TWO!!(One was the chestnut sided which was a new lifer so that was cool) That's birding some days!!!

#TenMinMerlin Quiet morning-i think the intense wind kept merlin from hearing some birds. Saw a downy woodpecker that app didn't pick up.
