Steven, that's why I never go out there on weekends during the hunting season, but since I'm retired I have that luxury. It wasn't bad at all this morning. Btw, I believe that road is about 2 miles long from the gate by the hill to the 4-way pond. ]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In reply to <a href="https://www.featheredphotography.com/blog/2020/11/16/female-merlin-no-way-to-treat-a-newcomer/#comment-183319">Stephen</a>.</p> <p>Steven, that’s why I never go out there on weekends during the hunting season, but since I’m retired I have that luxury.

I recognized the "perch" in your post from which the Merlin was chased so I went out Saturday morning to test my luck. I didn't see the Merlin but I did count over 175 (175!!) hunter's vehicles in that favorite little area! Then whole road can't be much over a mile. I couldn't believe it. Of course, it was a Saturday and half the county was out to hunt. I didn't find much and you can understand why. It is amazing to me that there are any birds out there at all. How do any of them survive the winter? Still, I enjoy going out there. Best, Stephen]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ron,</p> <p>Speaking of the earlier post… I recognized the “perch” in your post from which the Merlin was chased so I went out Saturday morning to test my luck.
