Today, I had another Hoary Redpoll visit my feeders. It seemed promising that it would stick around - that is - until this Sharp-shinned Hawk showed up and chased what looked like the Redpoll, almost grabbing it!! That would have been a shame since Hoary Redpolls are rare in my area. The feeders have been fairly quiet for the rest of the day...
This Hawk, unlike other accipiter species who I get, did not fly away quickly. In fact, it stood in place even as I went out on my deck to take this photo.
