Just to follow up, a couple recent Mistaken Merlin observations:

I was looking at a Chestnut-sided warbler singing loudly.  Merlin repeatedly called it a Northern parula.  I tried Merlin 3X and each time it came up with parula and nothing else.  I have a parula nesting in my yard and I am confident it was picking up the parula off in the distance.  However, it never once indicated CSWA even though it was loud and I’m looking at it 10-feet from my iPhone.  This could be confusing to a beginner.

Trudeau Rd - There’s a resident raven that sounds similar to a Black-billed cuckoo.  Merlin consistently identifies it as BBCU.   But my birding party saw the raven giving the call.  It was a raven that sounds like a BBCU.

Gotta be careful with the app but it is really helpful too.
