This is the 'Prairie' race of Merlin that is fairly common during the winter months here in Saskatchewan.
There is usually a never ending supply of feeder birds for them to catch, so its no wonder they like the suburban areas.
She was fanning her tail and preening when I snapped this shot :

They are a little bigger than a Kestrel. Glad you like her :-)
Love the crop! The display is perfect! If only I can find one of these...
Glad you like the crop :-) If I'd taken more off the top it would have been too square.
