Participant Photo: Sharp-shinned Hawk Submitter: Laura Finazzo Place: Orono, MN, United States Date: November 20, 2016 Categories: Predatory birds Species: Sharp-shinned Hawk Comments 6 comments on “Participant Photo: Sharp-shinned Hawk” Bob Vuxinic on November 20th, 2016 - 5:41pm Nice photo! Reply Laura on November 20th, 2016 - 9:10pm Thanks, Bob! There were 2 chickadees in that bush, just out of the frame. They were chattering away, but they must have known there just wasn’t enough room for the hawk to maneuver enough to grab them. Reply Bob Vuxinic on November 22nd, 2016 - 2:04pm That’s a mistake a number of birds make when up against a Sharp-shinned. Reply Laura on November 22nd, 2016 - 6:37pm Lucky for the chickadees, this juvenile hasn’t quite mastered the close quarter hunting skills. Reply Olivia on November 22nd, 2016 - 10:41am Beautiful image! I bet he wasn’t enjoying a meal just out of reach, taunting him!(: Reply Laura on November 22nd, 2016 - 6:36pm Thank you, Olivia! Yes, he left a little disappointed.. course, we did chase him off. Reply Leave a Reply Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
