Abstract
Records for 96 nestings of the Merlin (Falco columbarius richardsonii) in Saskatchewan from 1970-77 were analyzed. An average of 4.0 yg./pair were raised by 47 successful pairs. Current reproductive levels in Saskatchewan indicate that the recent concern over F.c. richardsonii in comparison to the other two subspecies is perhaps unwarranted.
