The Utah Merlin Meet 2019 has come and gone, what an experience! Despite unfavorable winds and biting cold, there was quite the turnout as the annual matchup of Merlins versus Starlings went down. I wasn't able to be there for all of it, but I did manage to grab a few shots of Austin Gunther and his two passage Merlins, which I've compiled into this short film.
