In my Orange backyard, a sharp shinned hawk seems to be doing  Project 
Feederwatch at my feeders.  It has been visiting almost daily now  for 3 weeks, but 
I haven't seen it get anything.  Today it presented  beautifully first sitting 
on a branch with its back to me.  After I had a  good look, it hopped around 
facing me, giving me good views of it.  Brown  and white streaking on its 
breast,  squared off tail with gray & black  barring, and brownish to dark gray 
back.
