Sharp-shinned Hawk
Accipiter striatus
26.4017, -80.2661
Field Notes
Description:
A small hawk, less than 12 inches tall and barely larger than the pigeon or dove it was eating. It was standing on top of its prey to eat.
Habitat:
Near a pond in a park in western Boca Raton, FL
Notes:
Seemed like a young bird around the size of a kestrel but not a kestrel. Very fluffy feathers on the legs. It stopped eating when it saw me and waited to continue until I had distanced myself from him.
