We had a probable Sharp-shinned Hawk putting a damper on the backyard feeder birds this afternoon. Photo is a bit dark, but I also got a shot of an unhappy Carolina Wren who crouched frozen for several minutes on our deck railing while the hawk was in the pine trees: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S33197731 The wren stayed there even after other birds resumed activity, and squirrels of course were not phased by the hawk in the least.
