Observation details
As I was walking the narrow trail edging the shoreline in the NW part of the lake, I flushed this Merlin who was probably only a couple feet from my head! It landed on a branch less than 10 feet away and didn't seem to mind me taking photos, at first slowly and carefully staying where I was when I flushed it and then slowly moving a little closer and more in the open for better photos. Less than a minute later as I continued tracking west on that trail I came upon a dead Cooper's Hawk laying right on the trail!
