Merlin Nest in St.Thomas

Hi Everyone, I know some of you got this last night (July 12) but I just got this message from Bob Hubert saying that Jim Dunn, at 126 Redan Street, would be happy to have bird watchers viewing the family of Merlins on his property. You can also see them from the Canadian Tire parking lot.

Don Fowler says he thinks that's a first for St.Thomas.

Dave Martin adds: It's the first known Merlin nest in Elgin County making it the farthest south nest in Canada. London has had a breeding pair for two years now making that pair Middlesex's first known breeding pair. They are moving south quickly but even at the end of the latest Breedng Bird Atlas there were only 4 records in the Carolian Zone. By the next atlas they'll be everywhere.

Dave Martin.
