For the third time I've had a pair of crows and what appears to be a Coopers
hawk get into a cat and mouse game in my yard. For the first occurrence,
when I walked out into the yard all three birds were sitting in the same
tree, practically next to each other. Then the hawk would chase the crow
repeatedly. They'll make several runs. The same thing happened this morning.
It's not like the hawk does a quick bolt and all fly away. They land in a
tree close to each other and make several more passes. All in my yard.
Anyone else ever observe this behavior or have any insight as to the reason
for this?

Have a great holiday.
