I was spending the morning photographing a group of about 30 Savannah Sparrows that were gathered in a small area. The birds all flushed and I quickly noticed why. This Merlin had attacked and was able to get one of the sparrows. I was lucky to be able to get the camera on the Merlin as he flew within 20ft of me at eye level. This is my favorite of the sequence. Notice the sparrow grabbing the Merlin's talons. Fighting to the end. Nikon D5, 500mm f5.6PF lens
