[cayugabirds-l] Urban Merlin fledgling compressed images

HI Folks, The fledgling Merlin was ~10-15 m from me as I took images of it. At one point it was trying to climb up an immense pine tree trunk using its claws, beak, and wings. Not very efficient, but ultimately successful. The originals are really nice, but ~8 mb. I tried to send them
