HI everyone:

Two weeks ago I noticed a pile of mourning dove feathers on the path  
through the snow that leads to my bird feeders. As there were no  
tracks leading to or from the feathers, I figured that a raptor of  
some type had caught one. I have also noticed fewer birds around the  
feeders of late.

I was just looking out the window at the redpolls when I sharp-shinned  
hawk came from parts unknown and had snagged one of the redpolls and  
landed on one of the feeders. It just stood there looking at me, and  
my brain went from WOW to GET CAMERA. I got back and it was still  
there and I was able to get one picture before it flew off across the  
back yards and into the woods at the back of the house. The picture is  
here:
