| Subject: | Collared Sparrowhawk in Holt/Higgins |
| From: | Milburns <> |

Following John Layton's report of Collared Sparrowhawk in Holt I
thought that I would report that I have made similar observations in
neighboring Higgins and indeed in Holt as well . This species is
very much part of the local bird scene. I have seen display flight
involving a male and a female over Holt several times and single
birds of both genders appear on our block in Higgins occasionally.
As John describes they are cryptic, often perching next to busy
walkways and near buildings. I have a hunch that this is part of
their ambush strategy.
