Area Birders,
Late yesterday, I glanced out the window to see a large immature
Sharp-shinned feeding on a freshly killed Mourning Dove. The hawk had made a
pass by the feeders earlier, but had come up empty taloned. From the size I
would judge it to be a female. It is much larger than the small adult male
that has been a regular here for awhile.

Enjoy the birds,
