On 4/10/06 there were 12 perched Merlins in Bill Baggs Cape Florida SP. One was very pale, with light blue-gray upper parts. Although my experience with the Richardson's or "Prairie" Merlin is limited (MT), I wondered about this bird. Two excellent birders with lots of Western birding experience saw the photo and feel that this bird is a good candidate for "Prairie." I'm curious about the frequency of these birds in Florida during migration.
Any thoughts or suggestions are invited.
