I live in Galloway, just east of the Franklin/Madison Co. line. On Saturday
I spotted a hawk and crow doing exactly what you said. The crow kept
bombarding the hawk and the hawk would just lean away. And yesterday (Mon.)
I had a fly-by in my yard. I was sitting in the house, so I didn't see the
primary suspects, but I could see the crow chasing the hawk. They were at
really low altitudes (even had to duck around our pool to keep from hitting
into it). What's up with these guys?
