A pair was sighted last Friday on south hill in a tree just off Hudson street near Pearsall. Will keep an eye out for them.

We hope to find every nest in Tompkins County and to follow each nest carefully enough to determine the number fledged for each nest. We hope to document the nesting success of urban/suburban Merlin. We follow up on every report of Merlin to this list serve or to eBird. We've already started as several Merlin sightings have been reported this season, although this is a bit early for nesting. WE WOULD VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOUR HELP AGAIN THIS YEAR.
