Hope you don't get another one any time soon. OK...I am even more confused about raptors (some of my FAVORITE birds!) than I was before. I had never heard of a Merlin, and to me it looks SO MUCH like a Coopers! I have had a Grey Hawk come to my yard. That was exciting. And we have a small bird that comes that I can just assume is a kestrel, because I've never gotten a photo and I can't identify him properly. Of course, the Coopers come. I guess they are Coopers! :-) Anyway, have to tell you something funny...I actually had a crash course in some of the basic differences in the raptors by watching Wild Kratts with my grandson! It's his favorite show and he has always been a "naturalist in training" so I know he will enjoy birding with us. And he learns a lot about animals from that show. I learned several very helpful things that day! Whatever it takes, right?! :-) A Colorful Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06890388727784255219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-7315877842215255082013-02-10T20:47:15.774-07:002013-02-10T20:47:15.774-07:00Nice post Chris.

You have a nice flight shot of a Prairie Falcon (listed as a Kestrel) as well. That's another awesome falcon.

Many years ago a friend and I were just finishing up our big birdathon day and were driving out on a dirt road in Empire-Cienega after sunset when our headlights lit up a Montezuma quail crossing the road, our first (and only actually). We got great looks at it and smiled all the way back to Tucson. I've learned, but have to keep reminding myself, to never say the day is over and put away the binoculars / camera.Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03190691177954483912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-86962288537354853772013-02-09T09:08:06.927-07:002013-02-09T09:08:06.927-07:00Great post, Chris!
