Sharp-shinned Hawk
Accipiter striatus
The adult Sharp-shinned Hawk hunts in forests, woodland edges, and suburban areas with mature tree cover. It feeds chiefly on small songbirds, pursuing them through tangled vegetation with sudden bursts of speed. This compact raptor has short rounded wings and a long tail, allowing exceptionally agile flight through dense woods.
