Observation details
Perched on top of a telephone pole eating prey. In poor light and I first ID’ed it as a Peregrine, based in part on its mustache, but once I got home and looked closely at my pictures concluded that it was a Merlin. Back appears to be solid blue-gray, head seems too blocky for a Kestrel. Low light pictures attached
