amendegw Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 When I first saw this guy, I was sure it was a Peregrine Falcon. However, upon studying the photo I'm wondering whether it might be a Kestrel. It seemed to be more the size of a Peregrine.

HamRHead Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 This is a Merlin. And I think it might be a young bird but I'm not completely sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amendegw Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 How 'bout that? A Merlin - that didn't even come to mind. First one I've seen at Bombay Hook after several years of going there. Thanks, ...Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psweet Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Other than adult males, aging and sexing Merlin is not easy, and basically depends upon details of the underwing and tail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
