Merlin in Lac qui Parle County
2009-10-10

Uncommon in Lac qui Parle County in the Fall season

I first spotted this Merlin as it dive bombed a couple Ring-billed Gulls sitting on a bridge. After it scared them off, it flew to this tree downstream of the river. Unfortunately, it was a long shot with a large crop.
