I saw my first merlin this year at Terrapin Park at 7:45AM today.  I got
a good look at twenty feet away.  He was ten feet up on a small tree
which was at the very edge of a large uncut field.  For those of you that
are familiar with Terrapin Park, he was on the left of the main path to
the beach,  halfway between the south view blind and the bench near the
open marsh.

For those of you not familiar with the Park, it is just north on Route
#8, the first exit after crossing the Bay Bridge.  Take the first left
into the industrial park and get on Log Canoe Circle.  Going either way
you will come to signs for the park.  It opens at 7:00am and closes at
dark to cars.  It is a particularly good place to stop early before going
to Horsehead Wildlife Trust which doesn't open until 9:00am.
