Juvenile Sharp-shinned Hawk

I found an unexpected visitor on my feeders the other day, a juvenile Sharp-shinned Hawk. He kept flying after birds on the other feeder, mostly Blue Jays, but seemed somewhat unskilled and impatient. The lighting was not good and I was shooting through two panes of glass, but it turned out fairly well. It will be a nice reminder of a fun sighting.

Yesterday I had my first Pine Siskin, and a couple of Fox Sparrows.

Clear skies, Alan

Good catch. He's looking a bit like he got caught with a talon in the cookie jar.
