I live in the country and have tried to make our home as bird and bee friendly as possible. I noticed I've been hearing birds that I hadn't heard before. I downloaded the Merlin bird app and it's great! I've identified 14 birds so far.
These are screenshots of the app. I can't wait to get out and identify more birds. I may try to take my own photos of them as well.
Another really neat thing I saw was a huge swarm of dragonflies. I've never seen so many at one time. I wish I could have gotten a photo of that!
Spending more time outside has really paid off. I can't wait to see what is next.
