I've been carrying my scope & camera with me every morning and scanning every 
tree top, despite ever waning hope of the Western Kingbird's return. This 
morning that extra vigilance paid off. I saw my first ever Merlin and got a few 
recognizable shots. Of the commonly reported raptors, Merlin was the only one I 
lacked on my life list. Also have seen all my life list raptors in Logan County.
        Yesterday I saw about a dozen Bobwhites near one of my tobacco barns. 
This morning I also saw a Yellow-billed Cuckoo and a Black-throated Green 
Warbler. We still have at least one hummingbird as of this morning.
