Failure recording Barred Owl

[Carol Muth]

I have been trying for at least two weeks to record the Barred Owl at the edge of the woods, trying with both EBird App and Merlin. I’ve pushed every button, read the directions, see no “share” option and have had zero success. Also adding it to the eBird list properly is a nightmare. Half the time the Owl wakes us up calling between 1 and 4am. We were asleep, not birding, but if I select “incidental” it doesn’t get counted, and it was my understanding that the reporting of a sequence of consecutive days is reportable data. Also I see nothing on eBird that permits recording from there and no way to save the recording on Merlin. Well, the Owl just moved, I still hear it in the distance. But it hardly matters. So frustrating!
