When it comes to choosing nest sites Sharp-shinned hawks prefer low points in the local topography. In large forests in undulating terrain, they favor the valleys, hollows or other places which are lower than average. Even on hillsides, the nest is usually nearer the bottom than the top, and is often in a gully or other dip in the land surface. This is a preference rather than an absolute need, and where no choice is available, Sharp-shins occasionally nest in woods on hilltops. This preference for low points could reflect the need for cover and seclusion, and is anyway in keeping with the general "low profile" lifestyle of the species.

We took a few hours on Wednesday to head down to Dartmoor, for no better reason than having a little time to fill, and not having been for a while. The weather was lousy, and luckily we had Mrs W's car, rather than the Moggy.

Osprey near Bay Area Park on Armand Bayou keeping a sharp eye out for approaching canoes. I don't think it's a glossy.
This one is very frustrating, because you can SEE him calling but the camera isn't picking up the sound.But if you want to watch a calling sharp-tail, this shows it.
This is the sharpest blade I have ever encountered. It's one of three, and it's a part of a Pampered Chef food processor. It's pure EVIL.
