A raptor

This morning on my morning walk I saw this little raptor swooping down and scatter a a big flock of smaller birds. But it didn't hunt, it just took place in a tree. And posed nicely for me. I don't know much of birds, but I believe this is a sharp-shinned hawk. Some people here call it sparrow hawk. It is not uncommon on the island.
