Sharp-shinned Hawk (Accipiter striatus)

This bird raise from six to eight young, it is the most abundant brood from all raptors.
The Sharp-shinned Hawk is very protective and do not hesitate to strike any intruders. Their small size prevents them from being dangerous to people, for they make hard contact when they strike.

  1. Beautiful photo of equally beautiful Hawk. I love seeing them, though I do not get to as often as others. I was not aware that they could raise so many in a season. Happy weekend~
