Nice! Do you know what kind of hawk it is?

We have several kinds here. Several times we have watched Sharp Shinned hawks diving though a bush, or the rail fence, to grab a little bird. They are amazingly agile, folding their wings tightly against their bodies and zipping around like little bullets! A couple of weeks ago we watched one of those life and death dramas, with the little bird diving between the fence rails, looping back through the spaces several times, the hawk matching his every move. And after the hawk caught the little bird, another Sharp Shinned Hawk tried to take it from him.
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.
