I saw an interesting interaction between two crows, and what I think was an adult male coopers hawk. I noticed a crow perched on a branch of the elm tree, and saw that it was pecking away at the remains of a bird (probably a robin, I’ve seen at least 4 killed in the last two days). After a few minutes another crow showed up, and along came a coop, buzzing the crow. The second crow harrassed the hawk for awhile, and then the other, carefully placed the dead bird on the branch, and took a swoop after the coop. Eventually, the crows withdrew to another tree, and the hawk, perched only 10 feet from the dead bird, came over to the branch, arranged the bird carefully in its talons, and flew off with it. Same crows then flew to the woods by the house and started announcing the prescence of an owl. In a familiar roosting spot in the scotch pines, I was able to locate a great horned owl, holding fast to his perch. The crows didn’t exert too much effort on the owl, and quickly left him to his spot. Inga Schmidt Chagrin River Road, Geauga Co. and the Cuy.
