I stepped out of the house a few minutes after 5 PM and spotted what I thought
was a Kestrel on the woodlot-snag. I scoped it to be sure and found a Merlin
instead; it had just caught a Barn Swallow for dinner. I watched through the
scope is it ate nearly every scrap, in less than 15 minutes. Flickr link to G
