A Sharp-shinned hawk took a smaller bird (probably a junco) just outside my kitchen window. Sharpies are accipiters, hawks that specialize in hunting birds.
Earlier in the day I'd seen this overly-optimistic little hawk in hot pursuit of a crow.
In all likelihood this sharpie will terrorize feeder birds in my neighborhood all winter.
