My husband and I were out looking for the short-eared owl at Marymoor
park. We didn't see it again today, but while looking around the velodrome,
we saw a Merlin! It was perched in a tree near the restroom building by
the velodrome. It flew around a couple of times, but stayed in the same
general area. It was a male- got a good look with the scope. This was
around 4:45 on Thurs. Jan 11th. An owl and merlin in the same week- how
did I get so lucky?!

Happy hunting!
