[Birdtalk] Merlin at SLC cemetery

[Bryant Olsen]

I went to the SLC cemetery this evening looking for the Pygmy Nuthatches, which eluded me again despite my best Pygmy Owl impersonations, but I did see the Merlin in a Spruce tree with a funky crown,near Main and 310 N. It was very tame and let me get pretty close so I was able to get a photo despite the twilight and snow. See it at www.flickr.com/photos/bryanto/3172672502/ I belive it's a Male Prairie Merlin based on the coloring. My 4th Merlin since Christmas.
Good Birding
