Bird Ramblings

Best bird of last week here at Dallas Retirement Village has to be this Merlin, photographed on Tuesday the 6th right in front of The Lodge main entrance. It has been hanging around constantly for several weeks now. Look for it on either one of the tall conifer trees to the north, where it likes to perch at the very top of the tree.  Make sure to get a look at it soon because by the end of the month it will probably be gone, off to its summer home in Canada.
