Sharp-shinned Hawk
**look no further than the first photo if you find bird dismemberment a little upsetting**
I quietly walked down the side of my house to get a glimpse of this bird from my previous post.
It stayed on the fence for almost an hour.

Sharp-shinned Hawk
Another quiet day around the wildlife gardens and this bird is the reason. They look very similar to a Cooper's Hawk but are a lot less common in urban Toronto.
These photos turned out quite well through my very dirty kitchen window.

Tatu II Tuesday!

This is a new and very tiny sharp-shinned hawk, probably our old friend Tatu's sibling or offspring.

This afternoon a Sharp-shinned Hawk swooped past our bird feeders and missed. It sat for a bit make sure the smaller birds weren't coming back before departing. Why to they always fly off facing away rather than towards the camera? :-(

Don't leave in a huff, leave in a minute and a huff we've got lots of time. 😄😅
A very angry Sharp shinned hawk stomps off through the hedge after seven minutes of unsuccessfully trying to catch a sparrow, any sparrow, he didn't care.

Warm enough today for a sharp-shinned hawk to have a bit of a bath at the river's edge and then show off their lovely yellow talons #birds 🌿

The ‘tiny’ hawk slipped into this acacia tree and very quickly cleared the feeders.

Sharpie time! It’s always fun to get close looks at #sharpshinnedhawk - they have such personality and are so dynamic during migration at Mt Watatic (MA). We had a respectable count for the #hawkwatch season with 308. Some of my fave frames here! #birding 🪶🦅

An extremely frustrated Sharp Shinned Hawk. It was on the top of the hedge and decided to dive into it in an attempt to get at the sparrows down at the bottom. Got stuck and learned very quickly that was not a good idea.

Our local young sharp-shinned hawk (who I've named Tatu for seriously geeky reasons) looks like he's posing for mugshots.

The google said it's either a merlin, or sharp shinned hawk. I'm going to guess it's a giraffe.

A few shots from yesterday's South Bend, IN Christmas Bird Count. A bit of a slow day for birds – our team counted 27 species.

Kicking off another Monday with this urban Sharpie. Sharp-shinned hawks look a lot like their Cooper Hawk cousins, but tend to have a more bug-eyed look and smaller heads. Always fashionable with their capri #hawkpants tho. #birds #sharpshinnedhawk #hawkyeah #raptors #urbanwildlife

Tatu is back! A bit skinnier but still looks healthy (and beautiful)!

A ruckus outside my home office window on Friday morning was the sound of this adult #SharpShinnedHawk making quick work of a Red-bellied Woodpecker that was likely a regular at my feeders. Got some nice looks without having to go outside and risk flushing the hungry raptor. #birding 🪶🦅

I disturbed this hawk today when I went out with some crushed peanuts for the juncos. His motion disturbed the juncos. I made some disturbance with a broom; he ostentatiously but silently flew away.
He had to see a man about a bird or something.
