A small falcon that feeds primarily on birds up to about the size of a dove.
I used to wonder why there were hawks all around but not right where I live. It was because there were merlins around and they don't tolerate other raptors. There were hawks for a couple of years, and early this year, but they bugged out when a merlin moved in.
Cool birds if you don't mind then eating the birds you feed. :-)
