Immature Sharp-shinned Hawk

Was in my backyard when I spotted two Accipiter squabbling, and found one had caught a bird and the other was trying to steal it. The immature managed to hang on to most of its catch, and the adult went off with a tiny bit. The youngster then proceeded to quickly chow down before having to fight for its catch again, allowing me to get reasonably close and get some decent photos of it.
