Ken Kemphues first noted Merlins in the 400 block of N. Titus. At about 7:15, a
pair was sitting in a tree in the middle of the block between N. Titus and
Center Street. I moved to get a better view and the female disappeared as my
view was blocked so I don't have a clue about the nest location. The male
called very infrequently. He actually flew in and perched over my head, looking
down at me as if he certainly was aware of my presence and perhaps concerned
about me being there even on the sidewalk.
The birds are obviously accustomed to some human activity and can be seen
from the sidewalk without having to get closer. I would love to know where the
nest is so that I could monitor nesting success.
Cheers,
John
