While on the upper level OhioHealth Hospital parking garage 9-9:30am Thursday 7-20-17 in downtown Mansfield I was able to observe (with bins and scope) and hear calling an adult male Merlin flying and then perching just NW of the garage. I also had another unobservable Merlin calling from some tall evergreens at the same time just SE of the garage.
Recently I had also observed a Merlin on 7-4-17 fly low over my workplace area and into some evergreens at dusk located at a local golf course about 3km SSE of this location.
