Today's note worthy birds........ ............................................. Great-crested Flycatcher (FOS) Northern Parula White-eyed Vireo Hermit Thrush (FOS) Prairie Warblers Blue-winged Warbler Merlin (2nd this month) ............................................... I have bird watched for 20 years now and Merlins have always seemed to elude me until this month and I have seen 2 now, both perched in the top of a very tall dead tulip poplar tree overlooking the back of my property. Both were seen around 6pm and both ended up being harassed and driven away by crows.
