In for Lunch
Here’s my buddy, the Sharp-shinned Hawk (Accipiter striatus). It almost got lucky this lunchtime, but went away empty taloned! It’s nothing if not determined!

Looking for Lunch
Here’s my friend the Sharp-shinned Hawk. It dropped by for lunch, but went hungary as all the other birds made a speedy exit when it appeared! Who can blame them, they didn’t want to end up on the Menu!
