I've already posted photos of this (and another) sharp-shinned hawk. It (or others) have been somewhat annoying so I've removed all of the song-bird feeders so hopefully the house sparrows will go somewhere else to feed and the hawk(s) will move away. They have stayed far beyond their welcome. We saw it on our yard three times one day, once with a sparrow kill. Not seen a house finch or blue jay for one week or so. Anyway ...
I was doing some work in the front yard yesterday and here it was sitting on the fence checking for small birds to eat. I thought it was going to fly so started shooting in burst mode when a sparrow flew by into the mugho pine. The 10-photo GIF shows the hawk tracking the incoming sparrow.
