Chased by Merlin
Observation details
Flew in from behind us, over the docks, presumably from inland. Flew right by us at the lighthouse, at most 10 feet away. Started pattering on the water in front of us and was quickly attacked by a Merlin that made several passes at it. Eventually, the Merlin left and the bird started moving south over the water. Pictures from Jay and Tim.
