How much do you trust AI for bird ID?
I’ve run all three pictures through Merlin. Wilson’s snipe is the top hit. Common snipe comes up too. Merlin doesn’t give a probability for the matches…
Is the ranking due to more training data available for Wilson’s vs commons or is it real? 🪶 #Ornithology

Snipe in Nuuk, but which one?!
1st impression was common, but the underwing and birdNET of call suggest Wilson’s, though both are lower quality.
Shadows reduced on underwing pic. BirdNET confidence was 8.7% and 1.8% on 2 detections.
FYI snipes are rare here; both species possible
