Merlin

February 24, 2021

The Merlin is a mid sized falcon larger than the Kestrel and smaller than the Peregrine Falcon. It also tends to hunt more like an accipiter, sitting in trees and waiting for prey to appear within scoring range. It is also the tamest of our Nova Scotia falcons although my experience with the Gyrfalcon is limited.
