Hawk ID Please
Believe it to be a hawk anyway, I may not even have that correct. Not large, in northeast PA this morning after a cold night. Didn't get disturbed much by my presence. THANK YOU!!

yup - that's a merlin. A gorgeous and super fast falcon, always a treat to see.

Wow, well that's a new one for me. Thank you David and Luke as always! This wasn't at the Brig, near my house.
