This deserves a full screen. Merlin was one of those species which, 20 years ago, was a real pie-in-the-sky as a breeding bird in Massachusetts. During the Atlas we confirmed 3, and have another 2 probables. One of those probables, in Williamstown, was likely a nesting bird too. My money says in 10 years we will have many more, and welcome to them!
