[Tweeters] Merlins on Phinney

[Kim McCormick via Tweeters]

Brad and All,

The Seattle Merlin Project has been monitoring a merlin nest in that area. It is a new site for our study. The young have fledged, and they have been exploring the neighborhood. They will disperse as soon as they learn to hunt on their own. 

To learn more about our study, or to report a merlin sighting in the greater Seattle area (roughly Lynnwood to Renton, including areas east of Lake Washington), please see the Seattle Merlin Project webpage under “Research” on the Urban Raptor Conservancy website.

> 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.
