merlins
Compact hunting raptors
Merlins are small, swift falcons found across the Northern Hemisphere, prized in falconry for their speed and agility despite their compact size.
They hunt small birds in open country, diving with remarkable precision.
A pair of merlins nested on the cliff ledge. (Capitalized Merlin is the legendary wizard.)
