Merlin Falcon 2

This was the second shot out of a series. Seems the sun sets very quickly when you really don't want it to. This is a Merlin Falcon, male, that was chasing his prey (a smaller bird, I don't know what, I didn't catch a good view of him) just outside my apartment. I believe the smaller bird hit our window and alerted me to his presence, but I saw him sitting on the ground. Only after he flew up into one of the trees did I think to get my camera. And the distance was almost more than my camera could handle.
