Yesterday when coming back home from a little pizza dinner we found a juvenile sparrow hawk sitting in our driveway. We stopped the car and watched, then carefully approached. He flew a few yards further and sat down again. When we left the car slowly and carefully he first flew up and sat down on the branch of an ash tree and then - directly headed for the feeders and the feeding house and suddenly turned away from his original direction. Probably because he just had noticed us.
Later I took the Lars Jonsson book "Birds of Europe" and found out that the sparrow hawks often take their prey at the bird feeders.
Okay, now we have another guest and we don't call the bird feeders bird feeders anymore. Let's call them "Sparrow Hawk's Inn".
