I am trying to figure out why it it that we have observed more Merlins in the last 5-6 weeks in Southeast Washington than we have seen over the last 20 years of birding the region. 80% of these birds have been members of the sucklii race and have not been difficult to locate. If anyone has any thoughts I would enjoy hearing them. Thanks Mike
