Merlin was seen again around 3:30 just for a few minutes then never returned... -----Original Message----- From: Ohio birds [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Jim Coppersmith Sent: Monday, January 1, 2018 2:20 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: SPAM-LOW: [Ohio-birds] Merlin in Miami County There is a Merlin stalking the feeders at Brukner Nature Center in Miami County. The bird was perched in the trees above the feeder at the sharp bend in the driveway far down the lane heading into the parking lot. It flew off and then returned from the main field into a tree directly above the feeder. We watched it for approximately 30 minutes before leaving. Also the Rough Legged Hawk is still showing at Knoll Prairie in Montgomery County.
