PAIR OF MERLINS, PRESQU'ILE PROVINCIAL PARK, BRIGHTON, ON

      We identified these falcons as a Merlins  (rather than as Peregrine Falcons) by the observation that the wingtips do not reach the tail tip (as they do in the Peregrin Falcon).  These falcons were seen at the same time very close to one another and thus are probably a pair, male and female.
   The Merlin is a new species to our Life List, which now stands at 151.
