Description:
Snowfinch Publishing, 2023. Updated. Hardcover. New/New. Updated and extended edition. The Merlin is a very special bird. One of the smallest 'True Falcons', it stands outside the usually assumed grouping of the others, and also prefers a habitat which differs markedly from them. While most falcons are found in warmer climes, the Merlin is a northern dweller, occupying a circumpolar range at the fringes of the Arctic. This book draws together what is currently known about this elusive, but beautiful and enchanting species.
