Observation details

This small hawk landed on the brush pile in the back yard and hopped around peering inside looking for a Junco or House Sparrow. It flew off after an unsuccessfully hunt. I wasn't sure of the ID so posted it to a Hawk ID Facebook page. Discussion pointed to Sharpie based on messy reddish barring, dark nape, thin legs and feet and smallish head.
