Today was a day of surprises. I was trying to photograph Bohemian Waxwings, when a small bird of prey swooped into one side of the tree and landed. The waxwings where exiting the opposite side. Knowing a resident pair of Merlins has nested in the area for several years, I assumed it was one of them. I worked my way around the tree, until I was able to get a shot through the branches. Looking through the viewfinder, I was intent on getting an unobstructed picture.
