Dune Rd. was extremely quiet this morning with just a Belted Kingfisher and a Northern Harrier making a presence until I got to the Ponquogue Bridge and found a Merlin perched on a LIPA pole at the old Ponquogue Bridge Park. It preened for awhile before taking off. Photos and videos can be seen here: http://birdsoflongisland.blogspot.com/2011/01/merlin-manicure.html
