Sharp-shinned Hawk

Lake Frederick, Virginia

Happened to be near a window when all my backyard feeding birds flew up and disappeared - - Then, this guy flew in and landed on my suet feeder post.
Took two images through double-paned bedroom window.

Its toes and claws look sharp as well; beware the small birds.
