Sharp-shinned hawk
Feeders attract more than just song birds! Opportunistic Cooper's Hawks and their smaller and less common cousins, Sharp-shinned Hawks, are both bound to turn up from time to time. It can be a bit sad if they've caught a favorite song bird, but seeing either raptor in action is exhilarating! This Sharp-shinned Hawk is snacking on an invasive European Starling. Look at that eye! Intense!
