3 Common Redpolls were at my nyger feeders this morning before the arrival of my mystery raptor, an adult Merlin. After returning home yesterday afternoon I noticed that my feeders were hardly touched due to the merlins presence. He has been here for nearly 2 weeks and definately saves me money on my feed bill! I'm in Northern Wyandot Co. Rick Counts ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
