Falco columbarius
Small falcon with a dark back and streaked chest.
Sitting in a tree on the side of the road. He didn't move the entire time I was watching him. Only the second Merlin I have ever seen so it was very exciting for me.

Very cool Ashley! Always a treat to see these guys! I've only seen one in the wild!
Thanks Malcolm, Jacob, and Antonio! I actually drove right past him, but a bird shape in the tree caught by eye so I backed up, and there he was. Almost didn't see him!
