Re: Hawks 1, Crows 0

Several years ago I was floating on Puget Sound near Friday Harbor.  I saw an osprey being seriously chased by a bald eagle.  I didn't see how the whole thing started but the osprey just barely escaped before  the eagle turned and flew away.  I always think of smaller birds harrassing larger ones but, as I said, I don't know if this event started that way or not.

Hello Chatters,

Have been reading of these encounters with great interest, as I've seen
Crows bombing Red-tails many times. We have nesting Peregrines in downtown
Harrisburg. In late April, a day or two before the eggs hatched, a Crow made the
mistake of getting on the nest ledge. The adult male falcon took care of
the Crow very quickly. A gal who has an office right inside from where the
nest ledge is heard the commotion, and was able to look out through a little
opening onto the ledge and witness the Crow's demise about a foot away from
her.
