This Merlin was sitting quietly on a post along the road near Walden Colorado. We stopped for a few quick photos and were quickly on our way leaving him to enjoy a chilly May afternoon.

He’s stunning.
He sure is.
What a fine looking bird!
Could not agree more. Hope your doing well and have a fine weekend.
It’s always a treat to find a merlin. Loved having the chance to study this bird in your striking photo, Mike.
Thanks Jet, we don’t see them often as well so it was nice to get photo to study them.
What a nicely detailed picture of Merlin.
Thanks Jim, hope your doing well and wishing you a fine weekend.
Beautiful capture. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Merlin in the UK, but kestrels – so similar – are very common.
Hi Rachel, at first glance we thought it might be a Kesteral however it is just a tad larger and once we got a better look found it to be a Merlin. Kesteral are beautiful birds and we see them much more often than Merlins however we always have a tough time getting a great photo.
Such beautiful details, Mike!
Thanks Jane, we think this bird had just finished a meal and was content to sit on the post while we took our photos.
Incredibly gorgeous shot!
Thanks so much for the feedback as we do appreciate it.
You’re welcome!
Thanks.
That’s beautiful!
Thanks Tracy.
A fine capture, Mike!
Thanks Eliza.
Handsome bird.
Thanks Kathy and we could not agree more.
I have a thing about hawks, so could only sit here and grin when I saw your incredible photo. Thanks so much for sharing.

Hi Elizabeth, we rarely get to see these wonderful little hawks so it put a grin on our face as well when we did. Glad to share what we see out there.
