Title: Merlin, Early morning display
Post by: Napper on April 23, 2025, 09:17:43 PM
Hey! Early this morning or early for me 06:30 hrs I was on the deck and observed a Merlin flying East calling continuously.It was flying with rapid shallow wing beats almost Kestrel like. A few moments later it returned heading West. Seemed to be displaying.

p.s. Almost Hit a Woodpecker while driving to cottage this afternoon on Baseline rd in Tiny, It Just missed the windshield of our Vehicle. It happened very quickly, I thought it was a Pileated  Dunno. Not much happening up here a Few Chickadee's and a noisy White Breasted Nuthatch. Birds haven't found feeder yet, its been 5 and 1/2 months since its been filled.There is no real visible damage to the trees surrounding the place after that ice storm. Power was out here for 6 days.
