Hi Rick and list

I checked out the chimney perch this afternoon  twice within the period from 1:40 to 2pm and again at appx 3:30, but saw no sign of the "Merlin"

BTW i had answered Rick's question off list.  The gist of it was:
"The chimney (which i now observe is at the level of the 2nd story of the bldg) is far removed from nearby vegetation..."

Just a follow-up question. Was the bird perched on the chimney? Above the surrounding area, right?
