I just got to enjoy the drama of a second year female Sharp-shinned Hawk take a
female
House Sparrow right out my front window while PFW counting, very cool..
She had adult plumage with light orange eyes, no band on either leg, she looked
to be if
very good shape so she has been hunting good I take it..
Came zipping in from across the street to the bushes on the left of my large
window,
watched her jump around in one of my thick bushes trying to scare out a bird
all the while
the Chickadees were scolding her, all of a sudden a bird flew right past the
big window to
the right with her hot on its heels and crashed into the large bush on the left
side of
the window, a few seconds later she popped out of the bush and landed on the
sidewalk
about 4 feet from my window where I got to watch her squeeze the life out of
the sparrow
and proceed to start plucking it in preparation for dinner..
I need to get a better digital camera with a good zoom lens, I could have
gotten some
great shots of this sequence..
