As I lay abed with my first coffee of the day Sharp-shinned Hawk took up her post early this morning just outside the window on a fence post about ten feet from a feeding station offering suet and niger . All was quiet for about five minutes but soon both Blue Jays and Chickadees began feeding as the Sharpie, nearly immobile save for head movement, looked on as if it were watching televison. The bird visited for about 20 minutes before scooting. Given that I've often seen Sharpies take both Jays and Chickadees, I would be interested in knowing whether my experience today was normal for a Sharpie with a full stomach, whether the bird might be unwell (listless) or any other reason it appeared to be uninterested in its usual prey.
