[Birdtalk] Merlins

[Utah Birds]

I used to see Merlins almost every morning during the winter along 17th
South or 21st South somewhere between 17th East and 23rd East as I drove my
kids to school. That would have been roughly 6-7 years ago. Maybe it's the
same bird. Seemed to go after starlings . . .

Leaving for birding this morning with Carl Ingwell, spotted a MERLIN in
vicinity of my house (same street) so I'm calling it a yard bird. This is at
21st South and 24th East. That's like my 8th Merlin of the winter. Seems
like either they are more common this winter or I am more adept at locating
them. Perhaps a bit of both. As always, those who know about habits of this
bird wishing to share opinions, please feel free.

Good Birding.
