Late Friday morning while driving near Franklin Park, I was able to observe a sharp-shinnned hawk mounting a high-speed pursuit of a bird which turned out to be House Sparrow. I was driving at about 30 mph while I noticed a hawk flying roughly parallel to my direction and then a quick dive under a parked vehicle ,re-emerging and grabbing with its talons its meal and then a relaxed flight to a nearby tree to begin the feast.
