Merlin Stretch

[Glenn Conlan]

Another image of this female Merlin that gave us so many wonderful captures. Of all the falcons Merlins are very obsessed with personal grooming, she spent alot of the time preening and cleaning herself of any remenants of her recent captures. Thanks BPN for providing us with such a wonderful forum to share our passion with people from all around the world. Seasons Greetings to all and thanks for all your helpful comments.

We sure had a great time with her this year. Now that she's gone I can really appreciate how cool and rare of an encounter this was.
Could be once in a lifetime, and if it was, I'm glad we got these together Bro. Happy holidays.

Exceptional IQ, Glenn. Love the outstretched talon and concentration. Beautiful complimentary BG. Seasons Greetings.
