Merlin



I watched an adult male merlin this morning finishing off the remains of a
small songbird. The merlin was about 120 yards distant, well up in a bald
cypress snag over open wetlands. I was using an old B&L 'scope with 20X
eyepiece. The bird gave me about 20 minutes of viewing time before flying
west along the north shoreline of the Pamlico River and Broad Creek, midway
between Washington and Bath.
