Yesterday morning, sitting under the Pergola in my backyard, gazing into the bird feeders and watching the variety of birds and young ones not even strong enough to fly for long; I noted an unexpected "visitor"......a Merlin Falcon.....propped up on the fence, just looking around, while all others immediately vacated the area upon his arrival.
Needless to say, I was at owe! Wish I had my camera moment. Just like any great moments in life, it did not last long, it flew away and never came back.
I was so excited in this rarity of experience and mesmerized at the beauty of this species....had to go online and 'identify' it as soon as possible.
What an experience.......and another reminder of what a world we live in!
