The Merlin App[0] created by Cornell works wonderfully for tracking bird calls. I like to sit by the river near my apartment and watch in realtime as the app updates while the birds are talking back-and-forth. If you do start tracking birdc

I've had people relay conversations to Claude irl. You say something... pause while they look at their phone ...they give a response that is out of their depth, etc. The last time it happened I just up and left.
