Merc is short for Mercury, the Roman god with a winged helmet (from the torn left ear}. A ripoff of the Greek god Hermes, but I just had a problem with naming him/maybeHer Hermes. In any case....The Messenger.
Sorry about the harsh flash light, but it was late afternoon in the shadows.
This one got put in the bucket and got released a mile or so away onto Fir Cap.
