Observation details
Was sitting on a light post in the Pick n Save parking lot. I heard it calling, and was confused about what it was. If I remember correctly, it was being chased by some smaller birds? I don't quite remeber and didn't identify those, but it seemed like there was some aggression between the Merlin and smaller birds. It was too small to be a red tailed hawk, I thought it was some sort of falcon. Didn't see it fly, but I did get a very good recording of its call on Merlin. It had all the banding in the feathers. Mostly an almost purple-grey with the white banding and under belly. I was with my boyfriend at the time, who also uses Merlin, but I am not sure if he got a recording as well.
