A beautiful evening at the Meadows, ‘So Many Merlin’s’. Yes, tonight was clearly a falcon evening, Merlins flying around us almost continuously only to be interrupted by a Peregrine or two. At the dune crossing they were flying by within twenty feet of us. All those falcons and a beautiful sunset. Another great evening in Cape May! Leaders: Warren Cairo, Bill Smythe.
