Poor little Sharpie didn’t stand a chance of going unnoticed. The Eastern Point Crow Patrol was all over him, cawing vociferously and dive-bombing, alerting every creature within earshot of his presence. The juvenile Sharp-shinned Hawk held his ground for a bit, before tiring of the sky guardians and heading for cover into a nearby tree.
Paul and I lived in Juneau and Anchorage in the 70’s and 80’s. We watched from our kayak one day out in Auke Bay as several….maybe only two…..harried and hassled a bald eagle into finally DROPPING ITS CATCHZ….WHICH THEY THEN CAUGHT ON THE FLY!!! As the eagle veered away to safety.!
