Description
An adult female Merlin Prairie Falcon perching on a fence post and with a keen eye hunts for food in Montana, USA.
Merlins are small, fierce falcons that use surprise attacks to bring down small songbirds and shorebirds. They are powerful fliers, but you can tell them from larger falcons by their rapid wingbeats and overall dark tones. Medieval falconers called them lady hawks, and noblewomen used them to hunt Sky Lark birds.
