Thank you all for the public and private replies. I'll consider my
bird to be confirmed as a Merlin.

I also appreciate Bernie and John picking up on the theme of water and
shoreline sounds. I've felt for a long time that each shore location --
or at least each type of shoreline condition and structure -- seems to
have a unique sound signature that results from an unimaginably
complex intertwining of variables. And we're stuck with the profound
limitations of our present recording technologies and techniques,
which I don't feel can capture enough of the subtleties to really
satisfy. I'm guessing there's a lot of room here for more serious
experimentation and study.
