Prairie Merlin (Falco columbarius richardsonii), Mojave Narrows Regional Park, SBE County.
Observation details
Surprised some Savanna Sparrows that were drinking at a trough near the 2 old silos. Missed getting a meal, so perched nearby contemplating another run I think. Being so pale I thought it was a juvenile Sharp-shinned Hawk, but a close look at my photos reveals dark eyes and just a hint of the typical falcon facial pattern.
