Sharp joined the squad at Palpatine's personal request, yet something always seemed off about him. Wound too tight maybe, but it's always felt as if he had a different mission on Laceropes.

Some artsy shot of one of my favorite clones, I absolutely love the Laceropes members and was able to snag this little shot for y'all.

Sharpness.
The black-headed gull is our commonest small gull. During summer, it actually has a chocolate-brown head, rather than a jet-black one, which turns white for the rest of the year, with little black ruminant spots on either side of the head, which make it look like the bird is wearing headphones. It is silvery-grey above and white below, black wingtips. It has red legs and a red bill, which become darker in summer. (The Wildlife Trusts).

Small as accipiters go, but high intensity — that encapsulates the identity of Sharp-shinned Hawk (a smaller relative of Cooper’s Hawk and American Goshawk [formerly called Northern Goshawk)]. This image from Carburn Park, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, shows some salient features of Sharp-shinned Hawk: those piercing eyes, the long talons, and a long banded tail (which enables navigating among trees in chase of prey, usually small songbirds).
Watched this guy eat my favorite wintering Junco this morning... I saw him almost every day this winter, and now he's gone!! The sharpies sure are amazing predators, but I'm not too excited to see this returning pair of accipiters making themselves comfortable at my feeders...

The most modern double deck school bus was provided by Sharpes, as former Bounemouth Wright Gemini 2 HF11 HCV passed by in the opposite direction to what everything else was going. I’ve no idea how many of these ex-Bournemouth B9TLs they own but this is so far my only sighting of KBZ 801, having not seen any of the other Sharpes vehicles to have carried this plate either.

Taking a little break from the warblers to share this image I took years ago.
I was sitting on the front porch of my families house when I seen this Sharp Shinned Hawk chasing a squirrel around the yard across the street. When the squirrel escaped, he flew up and landed on this bench where I was able to get a couple of pictures of him before he flew away. ( Oct 23 ,2010)

I enjoyed watching this juvenile sharp-shinned Hawk for a least half hour. Before it decided to perch within 35 feet of me and closer it was apparently perched high in trees and came with great speed out of nowhere attempting to make a kill several times. For those who don't know this hawk eats other birds. I was surprised that I could stand more or less in the open at the end of the blind and not alarm him/her. The noise of my camera shutter made it flinch several times but after hearing the shutter a few times and looking at me he/she decided the camera and I were harmless. This bird made at least 6 attempts to catch sparrows, juncos, or Steller's jays while I watched but was unsuccessful. I was surprised how bold the jays were when this hawk was sitting 10 feet or less from them.
Everyone is probably getting tired of my sharp-shinned hawk photo but they seem want to be photographed. Why else would they fly close to me and pose. I'm not chasing them they are chasing me. In other words I am not making any attempts to move close to them they are moving close to me. That is the best way to photograph birds.
Photographed at Yakima Area Arboretum Sparrow Patch, Yakima, Washington.

Update: Today (Nov. 12) I think I saw three, but at least 2 hawks and I am beginning to think that some or all are Sharp-shinned Hawks. This photo and the next 3 photos are the same bird. One bird today was an adult. Help with correct identification will be appreciated. Thank you Birdergirl (Mel) for id.
This bird has become an every day visitor. I saw it 3 times between daylight and 2 pm yesterday (11/11). I am going to have to discourage it from coming to my home before it eats all of the quail. It sat here for at least an hour but surprisingly did not attempt to catch a quail even though there were quail below it several times. It did fly to the ground once and may have been after a mouse. This hawk was wet because it rained most of the morning and was trying to get dry. IMG_6616
never sure about sharp-shinned vs coopers... going with sharp this time on the account of round head and flat tail

[This photo is for C. London's 52 Weeks of Photography Challenge - www.clondon.me/blog/52weeks0]
For this week, I set out to find a scene with a lot of contrast and sharp lines. I wanted to do a long exposure shot that would hopefully maximize image quality. The challenge was to produce a clean, sharp, low noise photo, and I think this satisfies that goal.
I don't know what exactly I was hoping for, but I like this little scene down the street from home.
