My dad called this morning letting me know he had a pair of Merlin on territory on the north side of Two Rivers. He watched them repeatedly fly into the tip of the tallest spruce tree in the area, and noisily defend the area from other birds such as a Starling that was flying past. Having grown up in Manitowoc county I don't ever remember finding a nesting Merlin, and my dad said that he had only found them nesting in the county one other time.
