When birds at your feeder scatter for no apparent reason, it's possible a Sharp-shinned Hawk has entered the vicinity. Installment #32 of "This Week at Hilton Pond North" focuses on this little raptor AND unveils our latest venture: A brand-new Podcast series to complement our photo essays. We add some informative videos of Wild Turkeys, a feeder thief, and a nocturnal scenario at the pond. All this and some interesting captures and recaptures from our banding site are found at https://www.hiltonpondnorth.org/twahpn-20260215.html
