I have been very remiss posting about this, now likely at the tail end of their residency...a family of Merlins has grown in the area of Baker Ave/1st Ave NW/53rd St. A group of folks banding Cooper's a few days ago was excited to see them. All four just blew by our front windows, a lot of fun. They've been raising a ruckus for the last couple of months - been fun watching them mess with the Crows.

Worth a visit - they come and go, but have been around this morning on and off.
