never had seen one before... it was eating a baby bird of some kind right in the middle of my street... camera up, and he was gone

1. i came here to find out what a Merlin is. But I do chuckle at

your belated April fool's joke.

2. no joke

it is a small falcon-type bird which seems to be expanding its range into suburbs and cities

3. I was going to google it.... I knew it was not a joke. Have a

beautiful weekend. The weather is on our side.

4. Love Merlins and their cousins the kestrels

I do not get to seem many. I'd love for more of them to take down a few of my starlings and cowbirds. I especially can't stand starlings, damn invasive species.

5. We've been worried over there in the Lounge

when Kitten Picture of the Day disappeared without any explanation. This post assures me that you are, thank God, okay. Is Mo okay? Been worried about both of you.

6. yeah, what's up with the Mo? Glad you are OK but I am having withdrawal

symptoms, which considering the plethora of cats in my house is kind of silly.

Hope all is well with the young lady
