Sharp-shinned Hawk (Accipiter striatus)

This sharpie was scanning our yard for lunch. He sat out there for what seemed the longest time. So small in comparison to the Copper's and Red-tailed Hawks that visit occasionally. However, the chickadees were not too concerned because they continued to eat their lunch at the feeder while making a racket.

A nicely captured image of this Sharpie. He definitely seems to be looking for a meal.

I hope it wasn't the Chickadees last act of defiance (lol). Excellent picture of this fabulous accipiter BB!!!
