Hi All—Yesterday John Holden and I photographed a Merlin about two miles west of the 180th Street Marsh in Dakota County. We assume this bird is the Prairie race of the Merlin. The photo is on my blog, along with a photo of a Richardson’s Merlin taken a few years ago in Rice Co. My understanding is that the Prairie race of Merlin is less common than the Richardson’s in eastern Minnesota. http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com
