Media notes
Wind and vehicle traffic background noise; Merlin sound ID did not identify the harlequin duck. The flock came within 10 m of me, but the vehicle noise and one noise made it very difficult for Merlin Sound ID to work properly.
Observation details
Rocky shoreline: audio recording was done when the ducks were 10m from me. Merlin sound ID, however, could not detect the voices of the harlequin ducks in the large flock. Perhaps, the wind and sounds of the waves was too much for it.
