[Maine-birds] More Merlins over Flat Bay

Did anyone else see more Merlins than usual today?? 
 
This morning just as we poured our cups of coffee we heard a familiar "kek-kek-kek" and rushed to the windows to see four Merlins frolicking in the cottonwood and spruce trees just north of our house (all birds were either females or immatures).  They swooped and soared and called and flew back and forth in front of our house - often at eye level to us as we watched from the deck.  They stayed about 25 minutes.  We had to reheat our coffee, but that was a small cost to see such wonderful birds.
 
Later in the day - around 2:30pm, two Merlins flew over our house heading south at a smart clip....
