Hi all,



I've had a number of people ask me about the Green Lawn Cemetery Merlins in
Columbus, especially in light of two nice articles that featured the birds
in Sunday's Columbus Dispatch. So, even though Monday is a holiday for many
- Martin Luther King Day - we have also made it "Merlin Day" and anyone who
wishes to see and admire these neat little falcons is invited to join us at
Green Lawn at 10 am next Monday, January 15th. Some of us with the Ohio
Ornithological Society will be there with scopes in hand, and we'll do our
best to get good looks at the falcons.



Green Lawn always has other interesting birds within its 380 acres, and will
likely stumble into other noteworthy birds, so this will probably become a
general bird walk, too. We'll probably be around for a few hours, so if you
can't come at 10 am, you can probably find us somewhere wandering about
later. We will meet by the west end of the "pit", which is the pond near the
center of the cemetery, just south of the large chapel building. When you
enter the cemetery on Greenlawn Avenue, just keep following this road into
the core of the cemetery and you will see the chapel ahead. Keep heading
toward that and then look for the pond to the left of the building a short
distance.



Greenlawn Avenue is the first exit south of I-70 on I-71; just get off and
go west, and the road eventually dead ends into the cemetery. Their website
