I often carry binoculars on my four block walk to and from work. Sometimes the
effort pays off.
Today, while walking home for lunch, I spotted five Bald Eagles soaring high
overhead, three mature and two immature. As interesting and exciting as this
was, at the same location yesterday at about the same time, a Sharp-shinned
Hawk gave me good looks as it flew near the tree tops. It perched for a while,
then flew again, suddenly pirouetting and landing in the upper part of a tree.
Apparently, another bird joined it for lunch. (We have a surplus of starlings,
but I couldn't id the lunch partner.) This is the best look I've had of a
sharpie. I've seen three sharpies at this location in the past six weeks. The
five Bald Eagles are the most I've seen at one time in Chippewa County.
