There was a Merlin at Caesar Creek State Park at the north end of Caesar Creek Lake. It was perched in the line of dead trees near the Osprey platform eating something and remained for several minutes after it finished its meal. Also present were 5 Least Sandpipers, 1 Greater Yellowlegs, and around 50 Killdeer.
