New research finds that migrating Sharp-shinned Hawks go their own way. Sharp-shinned Hawks never let me down. In migration season, whether I'm walking through sagebrush in Nevada, standing on the shore of Lake Superior, or admiring the fall foliage on the rolling hills of central New York, I am likely to see a Sharpshin if I wait a while. Although I've heard hawkwatchers curse pesky Sharpshins for taking their time away from looking for Peregrine Falcons and eagles, most of us are thankful that thesmall wonders can be counted on to fill our hawkwatching hours. We also appreciate them for the wonderful shows they put on as they chase each other or attempt to capture songbirds.
