    1. Well, this photo was made on Hog Island the site of a National Audubon Society camp. There were many expert birders present.

      There was no discussion about the predator… definitely a merlin.

      There was some discussion as to the identity of the prey. The consensus was that it is a white-breasted nuthatch. This was interesting because nuthatches are not know to breed on the island. Thus, the merlin must have been hunting on the nearby mainland.
