you would love the outside of my house theres always some awesome wildlife in the woods lol... i once got trapped in my house by 2 buzzards...they were HUGE..and outside of my front door eating a squirrel i tried to leave but they wanted to eat me.
It's not a baby or juvenile even 
It's an adult Richardsons Merlin. a juvie's legs will be a lot lighter yellow than that. I did falconry for about 5 years but do to time restraints I had to give it up.

Thanx for the info! I relize now its not a baby cause at first i thought it was a hawk lol.

Very nice pics!
I am in Northern Illinois. Is the merlin the raptor that I see flying through residential neighborhoods about 4-6' off the ground, darting between trees and hunting birds? Very light wing flapping, mostly glides. I like watching it fly, but I don't recall having seen one eating.
