One of the wintertime raptors that I have been unable to find this year, up until Saturday. Driving along, I spotted it sitting on a roadside marker so I quickly turned around. It was not one to pose so I only got a couple quick snaps before it flew off. I returned to the area an hour later and found it again, this time in the road on top of a kill (looked to be a small bird). I again got a couple quick pics before it went way out in a field to enjoy its meal. None of the captures I got were particularly good but at least I finally got few of a merlin this season. Hopefully I can get some better pics of one soon.
