Hi Tweets:

It is an uncomfortable feeling seeing an immature Sharp-shinned Hawk
sitting on your fence staring at one's feeders. I knew a predator had been in
the area because there are Pine Siskin feathers on the ground. There have
been more than 50 siskins clamoring over the feeders during the recent
snows. The Sharpie hangs out in the tall deciduous trees and can make a beeline
to several feeders in the area. This is in the Redmond Ridge area near
the top of Novelty Hill Road.
