Trail Tech Hacks: Birding with Merlin
from The Long Ways Podcast Hosted by Devin Windelspecht, Michael Windelspecht, Eric Weber
We are starting a new segment to the podcast, called Trail Tech Hacks - apps and/or tech that we use on the trail to make the journey a little easier or more enjoyable. We are starting with one of our favorite trail apps - the Merlin birding app from Cornell Labs. How many times have you been on a trail and heard a bird sound, and wondered... what the hell is that?! The last thing you want to carry on the hike is a birding manual. Luckily, the Merlin app makes identifying, and saving, bird sounds and sightings very easy. My guest on this episode is Kayla, and she is going to guide us through the use of the Merlin app and give us a hack on how to use the app when you are on the trail and have no cell service. To hear some of the birds mentioned in this episode - jump on over to The Long Ways Podcast's hiking blog. For more from our hiking trio, follow us on Facebook , Instagram and YouTube. Do you have a story from a long trail that you would like to talk about? Or are you interested in having us as a guest on your hiking or podcast? Then we would love to talk to you!
