Went to Highland Park Cemetery, Cuy Co. late this afternoon to see if merlins were again wintering in the area. Found one female merlin perched in a tree, in the same area that they have frequented in previous years. (By the oil/gas well tanks.) Fearless bird, stayed put while I wandered around taking photos.
