Perhaps the same Merlin I witnessed nailing a redwing or starling on Spencer Rd. near the roundabout. He attacked across the northbound lane, luckily there was no southbound traffic and I was able to stop to hold off the truck behind me and the catch was flown off back across the lane into the trees on the uphill side.
