Merlin-Pigeon Hawk

Uploaded: October 17, 2010

Description

Our local camera club hosted a Birds of Prey workshop and this Merlin was part of the experience. All the birds came from the Outdoor Discovery Rehabilation center in Michigan. Each bird had some type of injury and could no longer be returned to the wild. All the birds were tethered..and here she is displaying her desire to get away. I PS out the tether.
