During our Columbus CBC, we observed a Merlin at Wolfe Park on the Scioto River on East Broad St. in Columbus (almost to Bexley). We were able to watch it eat a small bird while sitting in a tree near the tennis courts right by the parking lot. Then, as we started walking the park, the Merlin sat still and we were able to walk right up to the tree it was in. Unfortunately, I only had my cell phone camera and the photos are pretty poor.
