Sharp-shinned Hawk, on a very windy day! © SB |
From the feathers and feet, its prey was a smaller bird, likely a House Sparrow, as that's all we've had on offer lately.
The hawk devoured it on top of our trellis.
The colour of this Sharpie's feathers and eyes will change as it matures. I wonder if it will drop by for sparrows again next year?
