It was back in same area when I passed today so was able to get another look at this beauty.
It didn't hang about though and soon moved further up the road.
Beautiful to observe it's intense watching for tucker

Thank you Mike, these little sparrows are quite uncooperative when it to having their picture taken, but this one was having an off day :-D

I should time these House Finches when they sit and eat. I honestly don't know what they do with all the calories they pile up, leaving behind a bushel of sunflower seed hulls.

Thanks. And, yeah, I hear you on the poop machine bit. Let's just call them organic fertilizers that keep the fields lush and green  :p

And speaking of poop machines...

Is she standing on a fallen fence?

It's an upturned roof off a dog kennel, resting on an old piece of timber that the bird is perched on

I looked your Merlin up and certainly similarities.
