We came across this Merlin yesterday afternoon during a visit to Brazoria NWR and she was an awesome model. It was such a thrill to be able to observe her beauty from the car for several minutes before moving on. While we watched she just looked around and stayed put giving me enough time to mount my 2x tele-extender on my 500mm lens for a few photos before we drove away leaving her to her fence post.
