Ive been trying to identify the pair of falcons nesting next door and this is the exact sound they make, great to finally make some sort of identification!
There are a lot of Merlins where i live. Noticed that i would travel to different towns miles away and hear them there too. Seems to be a healthy population of them.
Wow I feel so dumb I have been looking at this bird around my house and thinking it was a Peregrine Falcon. But the call didn't seem to match that bird. Now I know it is a Merlin! Thank you SO much
There is a merlin who comes back to our neighborhood every Spring and summer. She dive bombs the local pigeons. One day the pigeons were hogging my songbird feeder, so I found this video and played it. You never saw pigeons fly off so fast. I need to figure out a way to trigger a merlin call when the pigeons raid my songbird feeder.

The best bird call id app is Merlin (yes, that's the app name) if you haven't tried it.

I can solidly say, this is exactly the bird that’s nesting on my property. Very seldom do they stop this noise 😂

Pigeons aren't fast than a pellet rifle, LOL.
How do I make this bird go away it’s so annoying 😵💫

Totally agree and they are killing my cardinals and other songbirds and they are so loud
