Little falcon, big mountains
A merlin sits on a fence post with the Rocky Mountains serving as a backdrop. (Tony’s Takes)

One of the few, good opportunities I have had this season to photograph a merlin. Such cool little raptors and they are most common during the winter months. This one was kind enough to pose quite nicely on a fence post for me late last month.

While I got some nice closeups, I kind of like this shot with a wider field of view and a hint of the snow-covered mountains off in the distance. Taken in Adams County, Colorado.
