Observation details
Walking between dorm buildings Sunderland and Sherwood when I heard it calling. It was perched in at the top of a spruce tree in the parking lot between the two dorms. Originally identified as a peregrine, but after getting home and reviewing some field guides I reidentified it as a merlin. In person the mustache was very bold and black leading me to initially believe peregrine, however the breast streaking is more similar to merlins and after comparing the calls I heard to merlin calls, I am sure it was a merlin
