"Günler sarmal bir yay gibi/Bunu unutma"
"Days are like a helical spring/Don't forget this"
Verse from a poem (in Turkish) written on a garage wall in Moda, İstanbul
Yeehaw, only mid-October and I already got me a Merlin. Isn't she a beauty? The description in my Sibley guide includes: "An active and energetic hunter; spots prey from perch or during low fast flight, closes with incredible speed, and attacks with abrupt turns..." Prey is primarily small birds and dragonflies taken in midair. I've been privileged to see them with both in the last several years. This was, however, a very brief encounter.
