7 June/18

Saw a couple of small dramas today. This is about predatory birds and crows. I saw a crow being pursued by a pair of smaller raptors. It happened so fast that I was unable to get a good shot except for one where one raptor is flying away. The crow was making a Kweeee sound, that seemed to attract other crows, but somehow a bald eagle showed up and they went after that instead of the falcons. I got a number of shots of the crows and the eagle, but only one of the departing falcon. It was all quite fascinating!
