    I couldn't believe my eyes when I drove by 4 Merlins sitting together! I stopped the car and watched momentarily. You could tell they were newly fledged as they moved awkwardly with hesitance on the wires. Too far apart to get them all in one photo, I decided I would get out of the car and take a few single photos.
