My Favorite: I rarely see Merlins around here, but always seem to see one or two when I spend a day birding out by Presho. There always do seem to be a lot of Horned Larks and Lapland Longspurs there in the winter, along with some groups of European Starlings and Western Meadowlarks. There have been a number of occasions when I've seen Merlins feasting on one of those species. I love this photo because of the wonderful, warm morning lighting.
