As can be seen in the previous blog to this one, we have been covered up with birds at our feeders today. At times I would estimate there were as many as 100 birds of different kinds here at one time. Guess it would only seem logical then that a predator might cruise the area. Just a few minutes ago I noticed that all the birds suddenly disappeared. I looked out and saw the guy in the picture below sitting in the tree next to the Blue Bird house. I took his picture and he was apparently camera shy because he left right away. The birds are already starting to come back to the feeders. According to best I can tell from my bird book this guy is a Sharp-shinned Hawk. Guess he has to eat too.
