While photographing birds at the feeders at the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge headquarters, a Merlin flew in and stopped for a few minutes on a nearby tree. Bruce Fall made note that "it appears to be the pale prairie subspecies, richardsonii, which is scarcer in MN than the taiga subspecies."
