A SPARROWHAWK MAKING A TRY FOR A BLACKBIRD Although too small and slight for regular game, the European Sparrowliawk, which closely resemblesour Sharp-shin (see color plate XVI), is uncommonly fierce and courageous, and makes spirited dashes at suchquarry as starlings and blackbirds. It is a hedgerow hunter, depending for success upon the intrepidity ofits onslaught and the pertinacity with which it follows its victim. It will even run through thick coverafter skulking quarry.
