[Man From Ironbark]

Thanks MFI - yes, I am fortunate that twice in 4 years an Anna's hummer has nested in my front yard.

The American Kestrel (Falco sparverius) used to be called a Sparrowhawk. And it is pretty fast and can also hover for a short time.

Is your sparrowhawk the Collared Sparrowhawk (Accipiter cirrocephalus)?

Yes. Our Australian or Collared Sparrowhawk is Accipiter cirrocephalus.





The Australian brown goshawk is almost identical during certain phases other than being a larger bird.
