Sharp-shined or Cooper's

[cldavis at xmission dot com]

I had a hawk come into my yard today and grab a starling. He ate it on the
ground, unlike the other sharp-shins I've had around the feeders, and it
took him two hours to finish.  You can compare his size with the starling
in the pictures I took. I would like your opinions--you can see three
photos of him or her at:

P.S.  I edited out some of the graphic coloring of the partly-eaten
starling.
