Hi Marguerite,
I'm in Middlebury too, and yes! Those are merlins! I've been seeing them, too.
Enjoy,
Monica

Subject: [VTBIRD] Merlins in Middlebury?
Hello, I’m not an expert by any means, but all week I’ve seen and heard a pair of small, falcon-like birds that appear to be in the midst of an elaborate mating dance on the campus in Middlebury. My Merlin app identified them as actual merlins, which they note as rare. Could this be accurate? If so, this is an exciting lifer for me!
