I went down to the shoreline this weekend looking for shorebirds but was stopped in my tracks when I came face to face with a Merlin.
We stared each other down for at least a minute as we both sat perfectly still.
No one was going to come between her and a meal. Not even a birder with a camera.

Married, I am not a casual weekend birder,-still learning-still making mistakes. I am not a writer or photographer but enjoy blogging about my outdoor adventures. I am currently using a Canon PowerShot SX50 HS camera, Meopta Meostar 8x42 binoculars, and a vortex spotting scope. The Name Brownstone Birding Blog comes from the fact that I in which Portland has been known for its brownstone quarries for many years. Much of the brownstone used for older buildings in New York came from the town of Portland.
