So I was about to leave for work this morning and I heard all this bird ruckus outside.

A Hawk had grabbed a sparrow right on my back patio so I ran and got my camera:

Can anyone help with the ID?

Many thanks,

Looks like a Sharp-shinned Hawk with a house-sparrow.

Suitable for a wanted poster. Caught red handed - err - clawed! Either Coopers or Sharp-shinned, leaning toward the latter.

Good spotting! Never leave your bins at home.
