Young and adult calling
Observation details
Two young were in a new tree, 100 ft from the nest, one answered calls coming from across the cemetery, flew a 100m or so and came back. The female eventually arrived and left prey with one of the young. The two young I saw were quite vocal... didn’t have time to search the whole area. As far as the count goes, I was watching two of the fledgling and heard 2 more marlin calling from near the "food exchange" , one was the adult that I watched fly in with a food item....the other I am uncertain if it was the male or a fledgling. I heard from another birder via email, that they had found the feathers from what appeared to be a fledgling merlin that had been eaten. Perhaps it fell before being able to fly?
