Tonight (12/26) around sunset (ss 4:50 pm) five Merlins were seen at the same time at Glendale Cemetery in Des Moines. Between 4:43 and 4:50 there was one each perched in different trees in Block 21, 27, 32B, G, and Masonic E. On Christmas Day I did not find any Merlins showing around sunset under heavily overcast skies and persistent drizzle. The overcast continued today with light fog, but the Merlins showed up.
