Merlin On Halloween

By D. Bruce YoltonOctober 31, 2010December 19, 2020Eagles, Falcons, Hawks and Osprey

The pictures and video are of poor quality, but the find was exciting.  A Merlin was on top of a water tower on Central Park at 111th Street.  This small falcon was a fun find on a cold afternoon.
