Merlin Bird ID review

 I have always loved the Merlin Bird ID app I have used it for a little over a year now.

One of my friends who is really interested in birds showed me the app and I have been using it an having a lot of fun with it. We often times send each other texts whenever we each encounter a bird that is rare or has an interesting name. 

I love using it in new locations as well to see what kind of new birds I can encounter in that area. 

Using the app is very simple, all you have to do is click a button to record your surrounding area and it will recognize and identify the birds that are present based on the noises they are making and it will show you if it is rare or common etc.

Study Area Resources

 NOAA Climate Data Record CDR ... on NOAA OneStop this one could be helpful to analyze some climate data about the study area 

James River (VA) at Richmond-Westham (noaa.gov) this one could be useful to analyze water level and flooding conditions of the river so I will keep this in mind going forward

State of the James | James River Association (thejamesriver.org) state of the James is a good post made by the James River Association which will give me a look into the state of the river that is updated regularly and has a lot of information on the river health which will be helpful going forward

Web Soil Survey

 I used the web soil survey to see if I could collect any data about my study area after searching for the area I saw there was this data set available for download, so I did so. I then read the metadata for this dataset to learn more about what the data contained and how it was collected. After that I uploaded it to arcGIS pro and observed some of the different attributes that the data contained which is outlined in the bottom picture. Overall, it was helpful, and I will most likely continue to study and use this data going forward for the study area.
