Even with the high winds this afternoon the female Merlin was observed in section 47. There have been 2 observed nearly every time I have been there. The second Merlin has been observed in the tree line along the sandpit pond just south of section 91, not in the top of trees but about 1/2 way up. Occasionally a third bird is being observed also.
