Jim,

My wife and I see a sharp-shinned hawk in the yard of the house behind
our apartment several times a year. ( I live on NW 57th and 24th in
Ballard) My wife spotted it just yesterday so it may be the same bird.

I suspect it is there more often then we see it because we often see
tell tale signs of white "floof" that looks like the remains of a small
bird on the ground there.
