[birding] Sharpy takes chicken!

[bouchdon at peak.org]

Hello Birders,

My coworker, Scobel Wiggins, has had a Sharp-shinned Hawk attack her
Bantam Chickens recently. The other day, the little rooster was killed. He
was probably bravely defending his hens, may he rest in peace :-(

The description of the bird fits that of Sharp-shinned Hawk. Ambitious! My
guess is that it was a female hawk.
