Observation details

My brother lives across from the Hebrew Cemetery in Wausau. He kept hearing the constant ki ki ki call of merlins and losing yard birds to Merlins throughout the spring and early summer season. Because of this he looked for and found their nest in a huge white pine in the cemetery directly across from of his house. He was able to photograph the adults a few times and got these pics of recently fledged young. I, myself, saw an adult Merlin sitting on the nest before the chicks were hatched.
