Just before noon today I decided to do a quick preview of tomorrow's Christmas bird count for my area of Agassiz. there was nothing too exciting and I was beginning to despair at the lack of raptors visible. I pulled out onto Hwy. 7 to head for home and started to scan the tops of the utility poles, hoping to find the A. Kestrel I had seen several times earlier in the Fall. It appeared to have left the area as I haven't seen it for several weeks. And then, there it was . No, it was a Merlin. After I satisfied myself with a good look I scanned over to the next pole in line and there was my Kestrel! Hope they stay put for another few hours.

Neat way to see them!
Did you get them yesterday for your count?

Hi Gord, sorry I didn't see your reply until today [the 30th] As it turned out, we found the Kestrel but not the Merlin. However it was seen on another part of the count.
