Passing by the cemetery just after three this afternoon, I drove through to see if the merlin was still around. In section 22, roughly the same area where I saw it two days ago, a merlin was perched at the very top of a lone douglas fir. I watched it for about 15 minutes before it flew off in the direction of Northfield Road. (This is in the newer section of the cemetery...the south end I guess.) The crows, 500? were again moving through the cemetery, spending some time foraging on the berries on a row of viburnum bushes. Just after 4:00 they started moving on towards Harvard Road.
