We had a Merlin at our house this afternoon (full credit to my kids who saw it perched in a tree and knew it wasn't a bird they were familiar with). It stayed around for about 15 minutes before heading East towards Yellow Barn Rd. Fox sparrows have returned (3 yesterday) along with song sparrows. Our resident Barred Owl has been calling more regularly over the last few days.
