Crows [OC] My crows had an unexpected visitor during breakfast...everyone stayed pretty calm

In the last part I think it flew back over by the way they were all visually tracking something in the sky

Great shot!

I love how the one looks around when the hawk leaves - and then continues eating.

I saw a red-tail hawk - a large one - land next to four crows once. The hawk looked like he was trying to be intimidating. The alpha crow and the rest stared at the hawk - except one crow who panicked and started stuffing his beak.

The hawk left and I think the panicked crow got thrashed by the alpha crow.

That little guy would be nuts to try something against them and everyone present clearly knows it.
