Merlin (bird)
The merlin (''Falco columbarius'') is a small species of falcon from the Northern Hemisphere. A bird of prey once known colloquially as a pigeon hawk in North America,〔 the merlin breeds in the northern Holarctic; some migrate to subtropical and northern tropical regions in winter.
==Name==
The name merlin is derived from the Dutch ''Merlijn'', vernacular merlin, with the dropping of the 's' from ''smerlijn'', ''smerlin'' in turn is derived from Middle French ''esmerillon''. In German, the synonymous names ''Schmerl, Schmirl, Schmerlin'' came from Middle High German ''smirle'', via Old High German ''smerlo, smiril''. The 's' has been abraded over time in the German language. In the Icelandic or the Faroese languages, its name is ''smyrill'' or ''smyril''.
