Bigdaddy44 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 This was taken today at Ft. Desoto State Park in St. Petersburg, FL. I was thinking juvenile Peregrine Falcon, but have only seen one and it was an adult. I was fooled once and it was a Merlin, but this looked too large to be a Merlin.

The Bird Nuts Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Looks like a Merlin, sorry. It's not bulky enough for a Peregrine -- notice how large its eyes are compared to its head and its small beak. And the tail and face patterns aren't quite right for a Peregrine.
