This morning at Greenlawn, a merlin was perching very conspicuously at the tops of deciduous trees between the first fork in the entrance road and the central mausoleum. At about 11 AM it was right in front of the mausoleum above the section 32 sign. At about noon when I left, it had moved eastward onto the first large traffic island on the entrance road. There was a juvenile yellow-bellied sapsucker just west of the bridge. Happy birding, Paul Paul Gardner Columbus, OH ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
