Eurasian Sparrowhawk

It was flying back and forth over the paddies, flushing Eurasian Tree Sparrows and wagtails from between the stalks. Eurasian Sparrowhawks have been seen frequently on Okinawa Island this year, and apparently the same is true on Ishigaki Island. Every bird seen on both Okinawa Island and Ishigaki Island has been a juvenile. I'd love to see a beautiful adult someday…
