ID Help: Merlins
birdcamfan:
i miss our merlins but my budgies don't. they used to cringe when they heard them screeching.
Pchemist:
gotta say, I would not miss the magpie SCREEEEECHsong one bit. Mute magpies would be fine.
I need some Merlins.
bcbird:
We are enjoying our Merlins very much, yet still hear lots of birdsong. Not that we see lots of the little guys, but as TPC said we can tell they are there.
Nice thing about the merlins is that the number of crows and magpies has decreased, and their "birdsong" is not much missed!
pmg:
We had chickadees, nuthatches, downey and hairy woodpeckers, gold and other finches, warblers, sparrows...in short, lots of birds at our feeders until the Merlin's started hunting in earnest. Tracy mentioned in one of the topics that the Merlin's don't decimate the smaller bird population in a neighborhood...the smaller birds just become more careful. I still see the woodpeckers every day. It gets pretty wild when the Merlins are out there hunting and keekeekeekeeing. I call them my 'mini Trey and mini Princess ;)
The Peregrine Chick:
Merlins will get talked about every year here I'm sure :D
