[EBB Sightings] Merlin in Alamo

Not sure if this is a big deal, but a Merlin flew over our house  
around 5:20 this evening.  Also, I've had Sharpies and Cooper's visit  
our yard daily for the last several days (two have hit the window and  
both flew off successfully, though minus some feathers).  They are  
clearly hunting around our feeders.  Also, had several Lawrence's  
Goldfinches show up at our feeders today--a first for us.

Happy birding,
