During my banding years at Cape May, we loved Merlin time. The birds love
to have fun and play with any creature available. What you describe is
often seen. Our frustration was with the ones that seemed to know our
catch tactics and would tease to the point of getting caught and then slip
away
Merlins are very aggressive if they have young and feel like they might be in
danger—and there is a nest with already fledged young in Trumansburg. But
actually, Merlins can be pretty aggressive anyway, with or without a nest. I've
seen Merlins at migration hotpots like Hawk Mountain and Cape
On Saturday in the early evening, at the gate of the Grassroots festival
as crowds of people were streaming in, a Merlin started calling
continuously for many seconds - 10? 15? It came into view from the west
and was chasing a crow and diving at it. They were maybe 30' above the
tree tops
