Last week we enjoyed watching a sharp-shinned hawk perch in the locust trees in our front yard; diving five or more times in attempts to catch the cheeky chickadees with no success at all. The black-caps just laughed and ducked into the beauty bush, then back out to the feeders. When we last saw the hawk it was a streak heading for the raucous blue jays out back.

Janie, you're welcome. Were you able to get any more information about your sick bird?
