Photos of the Week
Does this Sharp-shinned Hawk look a little funny to you? Like it is trying out to be the next “Hulk”? It is hiding a little secret under all those chest feathers – its crop! This male hatch year Sharp-shinned Hawk had already eaten a substantial meal when it came into the banding station. Not sure it can even see its own toes!
