Esmerejón de la Taiga (Falco columbarius ssp. columbarius)Observ.
nycbirderDescripción
Spotted a few blocks south from the north end of Thomas Jefferson Park. Looked like a falcon but couldn't say if it was a kestrel or a peregrine so I walked/jogged to East 116th Street to confirm with bins that this was a Merlin.
It was perched on the water tower on 421 East 116th Street between Pleasant Avenue and 1st Avenue.
