Merlin

(Cornell Lab of Ornithology)

A small falcon of northern forests and prairies, the Merlin is the least well-marked of the American falcons. It is becoming a regular breeder in urban areas

Cool Facts

    * The Merlin does not build a nest, but instead takes over old nests of other raptors or crows. It sometimes nests on top of domed magpie nests rather than in the nest cavity.

OH, Rita! That video is great!

He has the same voice as a tui I've heard. Exactly. Terrific vocabulary and interaction.

here's a thanksgiving-topical chat with the same bird

That was great Joyce! 

Nice little story Donna. Thanks for sharing. Peanut butter is always a good bet for the birds especially in the winter. The fat and protein helps them keep warm. 

                                 
                                                           

   Donna! 

After searching for an hour or so for Beauty I gave up and came home. There was some kind of run going on downtown this morning. They had a check station set up in front of the Blue Cross Arena. The Broad St. bridge was filling up. Have a great Thanksgiving Day and don't forget to say thanks for all you have! 

I'm thankful for the opportunity to watch the Rochester Falcons and for the friends I've made because of them! HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all!
                                                         

   Awww, how cute!   

I like it! Gobble, gobble!!
   

I'd like to add my 2 cents to what Lou said about the comments. These designers have spent a considerable amount of money on not only the software but on the education to make these designs. Furthermore, art is in the eyes of the beholder and constructive criticism goes much further than down- grading comments. Please be mindful of the time and effort put into these logos. Contrary to what some believe, it's not a simple task and not just anyone can do this. You need to have knowledge of typography,fonts,transferability to different applications,etc. If we continue this type of attitude we will scare off people from wanting to design our new logo. After all, the more we have to choose from the better as far as I'm concerned. That said, I'd like to wish everyone a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

 

    Thank you Donna for posting my pics all the time. What other website can you find someone from another state posting photos from a local watcher?!     Only here on Rfalconcam, that's where!!!

Wow that's an outstanding photo!   Thanks Donna!
