On a quick drive through Old Reid Park, we spotted a Merlin. These are members of the falcon family and although not rare, they aren't seen frequently.
We watched him preen for about an hour.

Killdeer Plains Wildlife Area
We did a visit to Killdeer Plains on Saturday with hopes of seeing Short Eared Owls.
In addition to a couple of Short Eareds, we saw at least 15 Northern Harriers, Redtail Hawks, and many others.
A nice surprise was seeing a Northern Shrike which unexpectedly popped out of some roadside brush to take a look at us.
