Late this morning the Sharp-shinned Hawk that has taken up residence in my neighborhood this winter, continued its assault on the smaller birds at my feeders. I saw it as it plunged to the ground with its next meal in its talons. It was too close to get a photo with my large lens but after it/they flew off I went outside to see if any feathers from the victim were left behind to aid in its identification. No feathers were found but hawk left quite an impression in the snow.
The tail drag impression was a result of its braking maneuver when it landed.
