There is an incubating Merlin in the City Cemetery. From east to west, it is in about the middle. From north to south it is in the northern half. It is in the more northern of a pair of very tall White Pine. Neither the nest, nor the frequently used plucking post in adjacent, tall spruce can be seen from underneath the tree. They are visible as far as I can tell only from the northern side of the cemetery. Incubation began yesterday or the day before, and if successful the eggs should hatch in 26-28 days.
Any observations sent to con...@ithaca.edu would be appreciated.
