Observation details
At the same location on Birch Drive audio was submitted July 4th (checklist http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S38025391). Perhaps my thoughts for that checklist of a nest being nearby are incorrect as this time one individual was seen easily flying between a huge poplar or cottonwood further down the road and a tall poplar nearby. It followed this routine three times landing on the same branch. The abrupt ending is due to a lawn mower starting up. 23 minutes later, the Merlin was evident in the background of other audio clips. Smokey conditions causing poor light made any chance of identifying the sex very difficult.
