Sharp-shinned hawks, members of the Accipiter family, are skilled hunters known for capturing songbirds, small mammals, and larger insects. These hawks prefer nesting in old spruce trees and thrive in wooded habitats. With 21 to 25-inch wingspans and weights of 3.5 to 6 ounces, they are crucial in maintaining ecological balance, making them invaluable to our ecosystem.

Since 1940, when Waitstill and Martha Sharp began rescuing refugees fleeing the Nazis in Europe, UUSC has been working on behalf of people whose rights are most at risk. To celebrate 75 years of advancing human rights through grassroots collaboration, UUSC hosted a special evening celebration at the Westin Waltham-Boston on April 30, 2015, featuring a keynote presentation by the award-winning New York Times columnist and author Nicholas Kristof. Special guests included several people rescued by the Sharps as well as video greeting from Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). The event also featured the premiere of a specially commissioned choral piece by the renowned UU composer T.J. Anderson, with lyrics written by former U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky, performed by the choir from First Parish in Concord, Mass.

Macro Mondays. August 3, 2015 ~ Sharp as a tack.
Happy Macro Monday, my friends!
I was entranced again by the bunches of fading flowers brought in from Trader Joe's to cut and arrange as little centerpieces for the tables in the dining room. I don't know what flower this is
but I love the razor-sharp edge of its graceful petals!
