Part of a small pair of scissors, that has the shape of a crane. In full size it would be too big for the Macro Mondays theme: 'Sharp'.
Have a great start of this new week!!!
Happy Macro Mondays everyone ;-))

A territorial bird, the Sharp-shinned Hawk's name describes its flattened, thin tarsus or shank. This is the smallest of the North American accipiters; the female is larger than the male.
Dickcissel bird on a wire fence at the Kankakee Sands in Indiana. The fence in place to protect the Bisons.
The bird was in my yard, several different perches most of the morning. Briefly it was out in the open so I was able to get a few photos out my front door. It flushed shortly after I took this photo but was back latter in the day. IMG_8124
Photographed in my yard. Four photos of the same bird. If this is the same bird I photographed Feb. 5 it injured a toe sometime between the time I saw it Feb. 5 and Feb. 8. IMG_5865

Photographed at the Lakeside STA
Yes that is the same fence from which the wet web bung in the prior photo - a two-fer.
From Cornell:
The sweet, lazy whistles of Eastern Meadowlarks waft over summer grasslands and farms in eastern North America. The birds themselves sing from fenceposts and telephone lines or stalk through the grasses, probing the ground for insects with their long, sharp bills. On the ground, their brown-and-black dappled upperparts camouflage the birds among dirt clods and dry grasses. But up on perches, they reveal bright-yellow underparts and a striking black chevron across the chest.
Lakeside Ranch Stormwater Treatment Area (STA)
Located in western Martin County, the Lakeside Ranch Stormwater Treatment Area plays a crucial role in the restoration of the Lake Okeechobee watershed by improving the quality of water flowing into the lake. The wetlands treats stormwater runoff from the Taylor Creek and Nubbin Slough basins to the north before that runoff enters Lake Okeechobee.
Approximately 2,700 acres of Lakeside Ranch is open to the public to enjoy hiking, bicycling, wildlife viewing or simply relaxing. The recreation area is surrounded by levees that are accessible to visitors on foot or on bicycle.
I'm actually not sure if this is a male but I believe so based on it's size. Females are larger than males.
He is so handsome that the first thing that came to mind is the song Sharp Dressed Man for this incredible Sharp-shinned hawk.
I found this bird in my backyard yesterday (10/31) eating a Halloween treat. The prey may have been a Dark-eyed Junco. Unfortunate for the junco but the hawk has to eat. Although it is hard to tell from the photo the hawk was under the canopy of a shrub on a dark mostly cloudy day so the photos are not as sharp as I would like. Yakima County, Washington. IMG_9536

This is a sharp knife I picked up at a Renaissance Faire many years ago.
The total frame is about 2 inches. I've placed a measurement photo in the first comment box. I also placed a full shot of the knife in case anyone is interested.
