Observation details
Watched one or two Merlins fly from the jack pine woods to the point several times. On two occasions there was a pair of birds who would chase each other for a minute or so. On another occasion, a solitary bird that had been perched in the pond area took flight when the Spotted Sandpiper I had been watching flew out over the water on the north side of the point. The Merlin came in very low and almost caught the Spotted Sandpiper, which escaped in a surprising way (see details under Spotted Sandpiper).
