I arrived at 4:40 PM today and observed 1 Merlin eating what looked like a Junco in Section 85. I drove around to Section 20 and it was already there still eating. I quickly drove back to Sec 85 and sure enough there was another Merlin there. I stayed to observe what maybe have been a third bird (looked smaller than the 2 females and it was getting dark) that went to roost from Sec. 47 at 5:58 PM. There were a few Juncos along the RR tracks south of the bridge. Also had 8-10 Tree Sparrows and a Red-breasted Nuthatch (been here since late fall) in the yard.
