We arrived at the cemetery to find thousands of Crows feeding. Our first thought is this was not going to be good for the Merlin. As it turned out we did have 3 Merlin. One of the females was in an aerial bird fight with many of the Crows. It was mostly one sided with the Merlin pursuing. This went on from around 4:15 till after 5:00 when the Crows moved off to their roosting site. This female finally was found in Section 90. The male was in Section 70 as was the second female and both went to roost at 5:23 PM Lori Brumbaugh Lou Gardella **************New year...new news. Be the first to know what is making headlines.
