A Merlin Starts Off the New Year ~ January 1, 2023

I went out on the back porch to clean the dried mud off of my boots from yesterday's Christmas Bird Count and the first bird of the year that I saw were three American Robins. Soon after, I started hearing Snow Geese, so I starting checking the sky. Over the next hour or so, I saw at least 6,000 Snow Geese winging their way south. That's also when I noticed a Merlin scattering a small group of Starlings. It eventually landed atop one of the neighbor's spruce trees where I got these photos. It was a good start to what hopefully will be a good year.
