The words "female" and "Merlin" together automatically pop a name into mind for me. Therefore, oh raptor, I dub thee "Vivian, the enchantress".

Next time I see her and am able to capture a picture of her, I shall title it 'Vivian' and dedicate it to you.

AW thank you. I actually have two videos of some kind of small raptor similar to that chasing the massive flock of sparrows that were hiding in out shrubs when they saw it coming. I think it is a Coopers Hawk but it could be a Merlin. I don't know all the subtle variations of my birds of prey, but I know it is awesome to watch it when it comes. I have seen it catch a squirrel and devour it messily on the hand rail of the neighbors side steps.
