JamesM Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Saw this yesterday and today, about 50Km east of Toronto. At first I thought it was a Cooper's Hawk, but today I noticed that it seemed small for a hawk. Also thought he was munching on a rabbit (there are lots in our area) until I looked closely at the picture and noticed the feathers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akandula Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) Yep! Note the stocky shape and gray above with a mustache stripe and a thin white eyebrow. Edited March 2, 2020 by akandula 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefferson Shank Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) Yes, definitely a Merlin! Good picture! Here is a good link for identifying the two. Edited March 2, 2020 by Jefferson Shank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Leukering Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Not really any other raptor it could be. Wings are too long for any accipiter and too short for any other falcon and any buteo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
