Two Merlins were seen this afternoon at Calvary Cemetery in Garfield Heights. In my opinion, they appeared to be the same birds I have observed in previous years, especially the male. The female was in Section 85 and went to roost at 6:18 p.m. I followed her as she headed low and north until I lost her in the trees. The male was in a pine in Section 83 and was still there at 6:31 p.m. when I left to look for the Eastern Screech-Owl in Section 11. However, while I was out of state, the tree was cut down!!!!! (I hope to relocate it.) Also observed: American Kestrel - 1, male Canada Goose - in 4 groups (31, 23, 14, and 4 landing) Ring-billed Gull - 17, flying over Delorme 41A6 Lou Gardella <BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> AOL now offers free email to everyone.
