Détails de l'observation
First heard calling (quick single, “bouncy”, musical, but rather mechanical “pip” notes, like the sound produced when you would hit together two wooden blocks). Almost immediately thereafter, I found an Empidonax flycatcher in the brushy weeds along the eastern edge of Big Stinky (photographed): 35.058642, -90.134039 Seemed to be favoring pokeberries for perches, but perhaps those just provide better perch substrates. After much effort and intermittent call playback, I finally succeeded in getting Merlin to pick up on the call (attached). Merlin had great difficulty picking up on this bird, however, missing the call entirely on two separate recordings, even though I was as close to the bird as ~15 feet in the second recording. Finally, at the very end of our effort, I was able to get a clear enough recording where Merlin actually picked up on the call and identified it as an Alder Flycatcher. Interestingly, PJ, who was standing perhaps 10 feet away from me at the time (and slightly farther away from the bird) also had Merlin out on his phone but it was unable to pick up the same bird. Crazy.
