Media notes
Prairie Falcon at Preisker Park, Santa Maria, CA
Observation details
This bird was found in the SW corner of the park perched in the uppermost branches of a bare sycamore tree. It appeared noticeably larger than a Merlin to me being approx the same size as a Peregrine Falcon, but others have reviewed this from the available photos and have determined it is a Merlin so I acquiesce.
