Merlins are returning to summer breeding grounds across much of Canada and parts of northern states. Some spend winters as far as South America! Listen for their shrill, chattering calls. 🎥 Courtney Celley/USFWS | U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Our Video of the Week introduces you to the Cornell Lab's Merlin Bird ID app's new, groundbreaking tool: sound ID.
