For anyone interested in watching a 30 second clip of a Merlin eating a Sanderling, it can be viewed here. There are no blood or guts, just the bird removing feathers so those who are squeamish should be able to watch without a problem. http://birdsoflongisland.blogspot.com/2010/12/merlin-and-sanderling-video.html
