Today (Fri, 1/10) I went to Glendale Cemetery in Des Moines on a heavily overcast evening around sunset (ss 5:04). I started seeing several Merlins in different locations, and there was some moving around, but for a few minutes there were 6 showing: 1 in a tall spruce at the north edge of Block 24, 2 in separate locust trees in Blk. H, 1 in the scraggly spruce in Blk. J, 1 in the large English oak in Blk. 33D, and 1 in a tall English oak in the center of Blk. 37. Earlier one each had been in Blk. 20, Blk. 16, the old cottonwood in Blk. H, and the big oak in Blk. 33B.
