Observation details
Soaring on south and west sides of park and also soaring and diving west of the park. Perched for a while on west lawn tree cypress. Jay-sized. I thought its back was brown in tough light so I thought merlin. When looking at photos it seems to have two moustaches so I thought kestrel. 4/4/2018: I'm looking at the pictures of one or more merlins that's been hanging around the park this winter. I have multiple pictures where the bird has a lot of white on the back of its neck. In some pictures of the same bird it looks like two mustaches. But it's definitely a merlin. So I'm renaming this a merlin. Bad lighting is obscuring its eyebrow.
