Around 11:30 AM today, the Merlin was just north of the "pit" sitting on top of an electric pole. The bird was on the pole for along time giving everyone present a good look. Also present at the "pit" area feeders, were redbreasted nuthatches and hairy woodpecker. We did not see the pine siskins that we reported yesterday.
