A Taiga subspecies of Merlin with a dark gray back, buffy chest streaked with dark brown, and a barred tail. The bird was facing away and was perched on one of many brown branches on a tree with red seeds sprouting against a blue sky.

In my past life, I had self -expression.

In my present life, say yes to items that align with me

In my future life, I have yet to discover

Merlins are small falcons with a powerful build that is broader and stockier than the slightly smaller American Kestrel. Merlins have sharply pointed wings, a broad chest, and a medium length tail.

Oh look up, it's a merlin in a tree, turned his head around to look at me! 🍂 Hawk Hill, High Park - Toronto. (archives)

ps. This tree is no longer there, a storm struck, there's just a large jagged stump now.

Further up the hill, #RedGrouse numbers are on the up and with the numerous Field Vole signs it’s no surprise that #ShortearedOwls are breeding this year. #Merlins bred on site last year, a sure sign their passerine food sources are increasing.

Die #Merlins haben übrigens gewonnen. Wie genau weiß ich nicht und jetzt ab in die Vip Lounge
