When I was on my front porch yesterday, there was quite a squawking going on with all the house sparrows and other usual feeder birds. Then I saw a small hawk zoom by and land in the barberry bush right across from me and then take off again after some birds! A Sharp-shinned Hawk flew back & forth, very close to me, landing momentarily in small trees while trying to catch a meal. I don’t think it got a bird, but it was out of sight behind the big boxwood, so I couldn’t see it after a bit.
It either did not see me, or was so desperate to catch a bird that it ignored me standing on the porch.
