Bird Ramblings - Merlin

Last Merlin?? Everyday Jeanette and I check the tall cedar trees here in the Dallas Retirement Village for a Merlin, expecting to see the last one of this season because it is the time when Merlins will migrate north as far as Alaska for their breeding season. This photo was taken on February 22nd in front of The Lodge main entrance, and could quite possibly be the last one for this year. If it is we won't see a Merlin back here until next winter, normally in November.
