Just had a Merlin probably chasing a little hapless bird off my bird feeders by my deck, fly right into my French doors and knock himself a little silly. My wife saw it happen so I was able to run over and see him sitting on his backside right next to the door. Fortunately, he got up and flew off in just a few seconds. Not the way I thought I would get a new yard Bird but anyway fun to see!
