We have had a nest of Cooper Hawks nearby for the past 4 years or so- This year we have noticed as many as 20 crows hanging around on the tree next to the nest. We haven't seen any direct interaction between the hawk and crows but wonder are they trying to drive the hawks away or waiting eat the young? also I might mention there is a large roost of turkey vultures about 100 yeards away and they have been coming for the past 5 or more years Ruth Lapp Yellow Springs **************Create a Home Theater Like the Pros.
