Xmas Bird Count- The Holden Arboretum

Group of 5 xmas bird count volunteers
Frozen Carvers Pond
Female Merlin
The temperature was a balmy 60+ degrees for this years xmas bird count on December 27 in at The Holden Arboretum, Kirtland, Ohio. Typically the temperature is below freezing. I believe we hit a record temp for the day. The group decided since it was so nice we would trek 5+ miles to carvers pond to find a male Merlin. Not only did we find one Merlin perched high in a dead tree put we also found a female perched nearby on another dead tree.
