Jerseybirders,
A handsome Sharp-shinned Hawk is gathering branches and making a nest in the tall pine next door. It glides all around the area. One day it harassed a Red-tail until it left. What are your experiences with having a bird-eating raptor close by? I guess we will take down the feeders for now. It may be fascinating to watch, but will it drive away the house wrens and catbirds that have nested in our yard all these years?
