[mou] Fox Sparrow & Sharp-shinned Hawk

[jeff fischer]

That looks like the sharpie that I photographed, and pointed out to a US Fish and Wildlife Service film crew, last Thursday. I posted the pics on the blog this morning. http://ecobirder.blogspot.com/

I photographed one in the smae spot around Thanksgiving http://ecobirder.blogspot.com/2007/12/whos-afraid-of-big-bad-sharpie.html so it would seem likely that the feeders by the refuge headquarters are part of it's hunting grounds.

Thanks,

I checked the feeding station at the Minnesota Valley NWR Visitor's Center today and saw a fox sparrow and adult sharp-shinned hawk.  I posted a photo of the fox sparrow  on the MOU website gallery and I have photos of both the sparrow and the sharpie in this blog entry:
