I have monitored nesting success of Merlin in Tompkins for the last six years.
Nest discovery has been almost entirely due to reports by other birders. I am

Thanks to all who made this Merlin study possible.

of the nests were dis-assembled, allowing light to penetrate where it had been
opaque, suggesti
I'm thrilled the Merlins are back in the cemetery. After Stuart's post I
stopped by and had terrific views of the female on the bare treetop. As with
Suan, the male and female would call and respond several times then he would
swoop in, copulating, then off again. They did this two times with a
I've been sitting the last hour here in the cemetary, watching a (presumably)
female merlin hanging out on the highest naked snag atop a pine, calling
