Merlin

Falco columbarius - This uncommon small dark falcon of open areas is told by the absence of a black facial pattern and by prominently barred tail and long pointed wings. Flight is direct with steady wing beats, often low over the ground; seldom soars. It often captures shorebirds, pigeons, mice, and insects. Call is a series of sharp biks.
