[QUOTE="RWS, post: 1307385, member: 12891"] i beleive that sharp shinned hawk is what i've always heard called a "blue darter." a lot smaller than a red tail, just a little bigger than a crow, and like deerwacker said, they tend to stay in the timber and zip through the trees quickly. i have a hawk story i think is pretty cool, i have a saddle shop and build custom saddles, tack, holsters etc. a few years ago a customer came up to pick up a saddle on thanksgiving day. i left the family dinner to meet him. on the front of my shop is a garage door which i had opened before he got there. as we were standing in the shop talkin, a red tail flew in the garage door, passed within 6 feet of us, and landed on a tall shelf at the back of the shop. we looked at each other with dropped jaws, looked at the hawk, it looked at us, preened itself for a few seconds, then flew back out the door.
