Yesterday evening we observed 2 Merlin Section 85 and 95. At approximately 5:00 PM the Sec. 85 bird flew off to the east. A few minutes later we observed it eating a Junco on the top of the Section 84 post. We were able to get within 15' to photograph. It stayed on the post till 5:24 PM when it flew, presumably to roost. This evening it was the same situation except of course the Junco dinner! Section 85 bird is a male and flew to roost before 5:00 PM. Started raining 10-15 minutes later. The only other birds observed were Canada Geese, Coopers Hawk, Red-tailed Hawk (2), Cedar Waxwings (22 yesterday), Starlings, and a 10 point buck!!! Congratulations to the birders who got their Lifer Merlin tonight!!!!
