Sharp-shinned Hawk



Sharp-shinned Hawk (Accipiter striatus)


This is the smallest hawk in North America.

They have long lengs, short wings and very long tails for pursing songbirds and mice.
According to the Audubon Society, this hawk is declining in the Eastern US perhaps

because some of its prey are also declining.
