03/28 report was given to me by security (Bob). The Merlin were in sections 85 and 90. 03/30 observed only one female Merlin in section 86. This was not one of the birds that wintered. 03/31 section 90 female Merlin. Went to roost at 7:44 PM. The section 85 female apparently has left for the breeding grounds. I suspect the section 90 bird will leave shortly. Latest date is April 3 for the cemetery. No males have been observed for weeks. Lou Gardella **************Feeling the pinch at the grocery store?
