This sharp-shinned hawk wants to remind you to stay hydrated! One of North America’s smallest hawks, the sharp-shinned hawk is an agile predator that zips through forests and woodlands hunting songbirds and mice. Easily identified by its slender legs, squared-off tail, and orange bars on its breast, it’s built for speed and precision. Thanks to ESF’s ongoing pond restorations, predators like these can take plenty of water breaks in the protected lands around Elkhorn Slough. #elkhornslough #habit
