A sunny park with two large conifer trees flanking a tall tree stump with a small owl carved on the top of it. There is a hedge and building behind and a green lawn bisected by a footpath below. This is Stratford Park, Stroud, Glos, UK

#TenMinuteMerlin #10MinuteMerlin Stratford Park, Stroud, Glos, UK on a sunny Sunday morning at 09:45. This helped me to spot a nuthatch, which was a joy. An extra 3 minutes revealed greenfinch, goldcrest and grey wagtail!

Fun #TenMinuteMerlin out in Utah's West Desert. White-crowned sparrow was a new one for me! The thrasher and plover were incorrect, but I still got excited at the possibility

Merlin results with orange-crowned warbler, house finch, white-throated sparrow, yellow-rumped warbler, tufted titmouse, and downy woodpecker

Merlin results with downy woodpecker, northern parula, blue-gray gnatcatcher, Carolina wren, cedar waxwing, and northern cardinals.

I did my #TenMinuteMerlin! I concentrated on the parula, cause I particularly don’t know that one’s deal yet. But you can see why my backyard got me into noticing birds.

Screenshot of birds including the house finch, house sparrow, lesser goldfinch, American robin, and Eurasian collared dove

I tried out @skwinnicki.bsky.social 's #TenMinuteMerlin thing at my home in Salt Lake and holy crap!!! What a great idea!! 10 minutes I can't use my phone to doom scroll and I re-learned the Robin's call that has made me so happy this week

Thanks for your scicomm and your approach to birding! I suspect your #TenMinuteMerlin posts were initially what got me sitting outside on a nice day just seeing who shows up, as opposed to trying to figure out a specific call. And Baton Rouge gives!

We walked a couple miles along the river this morning and heard/saw a great assortment. The Merlin app was workin' overtime! Heard 2 kinds of gulls, saw ducks flying, and watched a couple hundred pelicans doing their synchronized flying routine. 😀

Getting back on the #TenMinuteMerlin train

For the sake of heading off my brain with procrastination, #TenMinuteMerlin has been Going, nothing too out of the ordinary with 4, 7, and 6 species respectively but had a fun surprise when I went in for work to see big flocks above me and hear Greater White-Fronted Geese calling
