I’d suggest to you that Button-quails
are much better hidden than are Collared Sparrowhawks.
Did you collect the dead bird for the museum?

Sparrowhawk
An adult male Collared Sparrowhawk
was dead on Kingsford-Smith Drive at Spence this morning - presumably hit by a
car. Its been a couple of years since I last saw a Collared
Sparrowhawk around Mt. Rogers although this may not be indicative of
their presence because as a regular (nearly every evening) visitor to Mt.
Rogers I still have not seen a Button-Quail!
