Got this Sharp-shinned Hawk near the bird feeder. Certainly explains why no other birds had been near there this morning! ;)

Small, but intimidating, yes. They are barely 12" with the tail. There big brother look-alike the Cooper is around 15"+, Sharpies go after small birds in the woods, and the Coopers go after the larger ones on the fringes.

Yep, sharpies usually go after chickadees, downys, nuthatches, and sparrows. Cooper's will eat doves, starlings, and the hens will occasionally kill pheasant and squirrel. I had a pair of Cooper's nest in my yard for several years. They were a lot of fun to watch.
