An interesting #android app appeared in F-Droid: whoBIRD, that tries to recognize #bird species by sound. It uses well-known #birdNET model, but contrary to official birdNET app, whoBIRD works offline – a very welcome feature, as internet access in the woods or among bogs usually leaves much to be desired.
I have yet to test it on real #birds, but so far it has properly recognized “human whistle” and ”machinery sounds” ;)

Like thorns, the spikes may protect their nests from predators.

This is one of two eastern meadowlarks (Sturnella magna) that I found a couple weeks ago near a road intersection. I posted a photo of one on a road sign then. I'm not sure if this is the same bird. This bird walked across the road. It's sort of like the Beatles Abby Road moment.
"The sweet, lazy whistles of Eastern Meadowlarks waft over summer grasslands and farms in eastern North America. The birds themselves sing from fenceposts and telephone lines or stalk through the grasses, probing the ground for insects with their long, sharp bills. On the ground, their brown-and-black dappled upperparts camouflage the birds among dirt clods and dry grasses. But up on perches, they reveal bright-yellow underparts and a striking black chevron across the chest." - allaboutbirds.org

The BulBul had a nest above our house.
When the chicks took off
One landed in our place
I helped it flied out of the window..
Hmm....
And now the parents have
Made nest in our balcony.
Two chicks have just hatched... Waiting...
For them to grow strong and leave the nest soon....
As I am banned from entering the balcony!!!
