Sharp-Shinned Hawk by Bebops

A Sharp-Shinned Hawk is perched on a branch very close to my bird feeders in upstate New York. He is hoping to catch a meal. This hawk's prey is mostly small birds. Although the "Sharpie" is the smallest hawk in North America, he is a very fierce predator. As soon as I got the photo, I chased him away! This black and white poster is a digital photograph, enhanced to emphasize the dramatic effect of this hunter's fierce nature.
