Subject: [ia-bird] Glendale Merlins
During a beautiful sunset tonight (12/2) at snow-covered Glendale Cemetery
in Des Moines, there were three Merlins seen at the same time. They flew
around a bit, but between 4:54 and 5:06 (ss at 4:45) there was one in the
spruce with the forked top in Block 20 and two in separate Amur cork trees
in Block 27. Other sightings started as early as 4:35 pm in Block 21and
Block 15, and briefly at 5:05 there were two about 3 feet apart in the cork
tree in the SW corner of Block 27.

Enjoy the winter!
