Prompted by the report of Merlins from Calvary Cemetery, on Saturday, 1 Nov., at about 9:30 AM we checked out the area in Lake View Cemetery that one has favored for the past four winters and there it was at the top of an oak tree near the maintenance area east of the ponds, eating something avian. (Lake View Cemetery extends between Euclid and Mayfield Roads at the intersection of Cleveland, East Cleveland and Cleveland Heights and has entrances off both roads.
