I swung by Allen Brothers Marsh on a whim today around 1pm-- there 
was a LOT of activity-- birds were flying all over the place in what 
seemed like a panic.  Then I figured out why.  In some bushes I 
spotted a raptor.  Before I had a chance to take a picture it flew 
off and I lost sight of it.  Given its behavior (lurking in bushes to 
sneak up on songbirds), I'm guessing it was probably a sharp-shinned. 
If anyone's interested in checking it out, it may very well still be 
there.
